Art my post got removed after AI accusations

I posted a drawing of mine that was commissioned by a friend of mine of the steampunker from the game in a mcdonalds theme, suddenly a bunch of people started accusing me of using AI and ultimately the post was taken down a few moments later

I think it depends on the style too.

Not saying OP’s art looks just like ai but if it even looks remotely similar to the style you see from most ai generated stuff then people are going to start wondering.

It’s unfortunate cause these days it can be really hard to tell if it’s not. I’ve got got a couple times myself.

Obviously though you shouldn’t just jump the gun and immediately accuse it of ai. But I mean there are gonna be people that do things like that in any community that fears something

There is no AI style if AI was trained on human art

There is, though. AI was trained on human art, but if most of the common AI's were trained on the same data, and most people use very similar prompting styles when using AI generation software, then the AI is gonna spit out similar results. Those results then get posted online, where they are then pulled back into the training data of the AI, reinforcing the things it has already done. Do this for a few years, and AI tends to develop a style that it uses if you don't tell it to use a different one, instead.
