^Okayu is rice porridge and tako is octopus.

^The assholes look like they are saying "LOL".

@FluffyCow: I meant these two pieces here. The hands are dead giveaway. Potentially more, but at the moment I can't recall clearly which one made me feel sus, the impression might not be as strong as these two, or may be I misremembered.

YES YES YES YES YESS

LOL glad to see i'm not the only one that got weird out by this.
Now, saying as someone who is an digital artist: It's not "FULLY" GenAI.
It seens to me that is an AI upscale (like those waifu2x sites) but the whole vibe of this artist is weird too... He came into existence this year and already posted dozens of pieces, all very consistent with each other. If I had to guess, given the weird vibe of the drawings themselves (always looking foward eyes) and all the other stuff, this person uses AI to generate the initial art, but probably has a good technical knowledge to minimally over-draw them (fixing things that would make it very clear that is GenAi) that's why it ends up being so strangely consistent. Still very shitty in my opnion.

tho, there's a real chance that i'm wrong and he just has a weird style and posts drawings in very low resolution because of patron-exclusive content.

PLEAAAAAAAAASE I NEED MORE JUNAI

^^ those don't look like AI to me at all. they're a year apart with the latter showing technical improvement, so the wonky hands on the first honestly just look like a lack of skill to me (as an artist myself). i'm positive a human drew both of those. the strokes are too detailed and intentional, they don't have the AI gooeyness going on (which this pic we're commenting on does). hell, the second one even has a shadow cast from the confetti, which most humans would forget -- let alone an AI that has no context.

this pic is like a giant red flag though so i hope they consider removing it. reflects badly on this site to have AI shit, imo

The issues both ships have us severe lack of in game content for Arle and Escoffier

Well good thing fan-canon can fill in where official-canon is lacking, and fan can provide adorable intimate moments including kisses that official likely won’t.

^ Correct.

not sure why centurri was mentioned since there is a history of her art getting better

@TctyaDDK admittedly the first ones hands are a bit odd, but 2023 is way too old to have believable AI art, it just looked like obvious crap back then while that art looks 99% fine
The second one doesn't really look AI (in my opinion) ether

@ juanelric:
I'm not complaining, just listing the the most recent instances where folks got agitated about ... questionable uploads. That male trainer self-insert Umamusume thing of last week wasn't AI either.

Context for those in the dark: juanelric goes to the FAQ, Help, & Suggestions thread requesting Centurii-chan be dropped. The very next batch, exactly that provided example got uploaded. Notice the conspicuous absence of Image # 34802. Remnants of the situation may be found in June's Image Thread's and the Artist Page's respective discussions.
Unless it's been via the partly Tencent-Owned Spyware tool, there's been no comment from site staff on this. I don't even want to see heads roll, I'm just curious. Did a troll request it and some unsuspecting, overworked uploader let it slip through? Tell meeeeeeeee.

@ Aureole:
If you can't tell then just because THEY have muddied the waters to the point where genuine concern gets branded lunatic! We're deep in constant memetic warfare campaign for our attention and beliefs, and what are you doing? Ogling at lesbians whilst THEY are building the Tormentum Nexus? You need to wake up!

Pls share moar if you found some

@ZeroTheYuriLover

She went from joking about the N-word to this:

I wouldn't say that's an improvement

Congrats, gg for the winn

@Zesc Take your media manipulation theory somewhere else. This is a niche anime forum, why would anyone bother doing memetic warfare here? If I want to manipulate public opinion I would choose somewhere like Facebook or TikTok. Hell. I'd probably even buy some reputable news agency like wapost or big social media firm like Twitter (oops?) to push my own opinions to millions in critical times.
But trying to manipulate public opinions here? Lol that feels like someone spamming online black market ads here would want to do.
Misinformation campaign exists and can cause great harm, that's exactly why people shall try not to label one as such when one isn't, because repeatedly raise alarms only serves to create alarm fatigue and missing real ones when it happens, which is the end of The Boy Who Cried Wolf .

@juanelric I'm pretty sure they means drawings' artistic skills, like less weird hands and such.

I wouldn't count memory erasure, on its own, as mind control even if it was performed on someone else. It's not quite active enough.

^Movie is gonna be out soon! So hopefully more JunAi!

^"Likely" Chinese laws forbid showing intimate actions between same-sex people, both men and women (especially men), so there is 0% chance for same-sex kiss in "canon". Especially in Genshin.

@juanelric Isn't the joke there supposed to be about colonial powers being absolutely awful?

^I say likely because while it's maybe less common they still get some intimate moments past that inspire/fuel ships here and there.

^Makes sense I guess
Besides, it's common enough to be its own thing/trope.

^No? I don't see how you could get that from that art unless you deliberately misinterprt it.

Some people can't deal with context, I don't know why. Same thing with khyle. Of course the bad thing by itself is bad, maybe there is a message somewhere.
