Re: Artificial intelligence cannot draw: Detecting text-to-image GenAI imagery in a Kickstarter playing card project

This guy’s testing found that particular detector was the only one tested that identified human taken photo as high percent chance AI generated… https://www.makeuseof.com/ai-image-detectors-accuracy-test/ That's an interesting test, although a sample size of only 1 data point for handmade imagery s...

Re: Artificial intelligence cannot draw: Detecting text-to-image GenAI imagery in a Kickstarter playing card project

Sorry, I'm a little too busy to continue this discussion. I have my opinions on everything mentioned here and there, but it doesn't matter. Yesterday, I ran some other tests and was able to reduce the percentage by 60%. Again, it doesn't matter. I know how to manipulate this system—sorry, no instru...

It's clearly true, as Montenzi himself just demonstrated above and has been demonstrated a multitude of times elsewhere with text and other media. Not sure why you're putting so much trust in the software. Please provide links to these comprehensive demonstrations showing that the Illuminarty softw...

Re: Artificial intelligence cannot draw: Detecting text-to-image GenAI imagery in a Kickstarter playing card project

Knowing whether a work was generated by artificial intelligence is a somewhat useless debate, this debate a storm in a teacup. If I like a graphic work, I buy it... It is evident that this debate is relevant and important. People who vote with their wallets and are willing to cancel their pledges o...

Re: Artificial intelligence cannot draw: Detecting text-to-image GenAI imagery in a Kickstarter playing card project

Frankly I don't think these AI "detectors" work at all, no matter what sort of human analysis you add to it. Could you elaborate? I thought that was pretty clear. Those AI detectors don't work. Analyzing the data they provide doesn't add anything to their effectiveness. It's not clear to ...

Re: Artificial intelligence cannot draw: Detecting text-to-image GenAI imagery in a Kickstarter playing card project

AI based AI detectors are less than reliable it would seem. If a human can’t tell, don’t trust a robot - and if they can - you didn’t need the robot. Illuminarty is the most reliable I've found so far, although it is definitely not perfect. I think the combination of both human and cumputer analysi...

Re: Artificial intelligence cannot draw: Detecting text-to-image GenAI imagery in a Kickstarter playing card project

I haven't read this post carefully, but the first thing I did was test some of my decks. The results were quite funny! I used https://app.illuminarty.ai/ to test, right? First, I tested the cards from my 100% AI project. Well, with 10 cards, the average result was well below 10%! In some cases, it ...

Re: Use of stock images

In terms of AI decks, they're rubbish. Not only there's barely any artistry or craftsmanship involved in their creation, but the designers also tend to go to great lengths to hide the GenAI involvement in their projects. Great generalisation. May I ask which bot hurt you? Yes, you may, although you...

I guess the design arrangement with the artists made it too much to ask for a back design as well?

You have a lovely art style! The light blue outline might look a bit faint when printed, did you try experimenting with a bit darker shade of blue or perhaps black?
