AI is getting better, you have to keep up as it grows less obvious.

To start, let’s go over how AI generates images. The AI takes input data in the form of human made images, videos, or text depending on the desired output. It then uses that input with proprietary algorithms to create an output matching what the human prompt input requests. Because it literally just looks at something and then rearranges pixels to look like what it references, it has no clue what the meaning of its output is. This is a collection of many things AI does not inherently understand and the clues that may help you find content created by one. Most of these are due to context, so there are obvious examples of human art violating these rules, but they usually explain it or have context that helps with understanding.
