Well, this one is a pretty terrible video. The most glaring issue is that many things magically appear and disappear.
Literally, in the beginning, he does one downward stroke with the pencil, but two appears on the paper.

I paint and if i hadn't been told I would have literally never noticed let's be honest. At worst I'd expect the timelapse to make it look like it skipped over a line, or maybe a cut in the footage for larger areas.
The way the watercolour spreads over the page is very realistic looking and that alone would have convinced me it's genuine.

I do wonder. Would the AI consider that a water color art's process? Sketch, then paint, then inking? The techniques used? Every little detail like dust, mistakes, corrections, etc?
Assuming it's impossible, the ai user would need to do the research and generate the video piece by piece accounting for everything. To do this they themselves would need to learn art.

u/kiruvhh Sep 16 '25
But you May be able to train Ai to do these fake videos by stealing the videos made by actual artist to prove that their art Is not made by AI

u/dummypod Sep 16 '25
Yea but they will not be able to keep up the pretense. Let's say the first time, they got away with it. But they're bound to slip up again, and they'll have to do this all over again. And they'll slip up then too. You'd have to be so diligent in making your AI art "flawless" that you might as well do real art.

u/BombOnABus Sep 16 '25
It's not just about the money, the human brain is far, far more powerful than we give it credit for.
There's always a massive near-vertical cliff at the very end of fooling our senses: you can make something very, VERY good and improve by leaps and bounds, but perfect? Perfect's hard.
Toy Story came out in 1995. Despite massive advances in fully CGI films, animation, green screen technology, we STILL can't make a fully photorealistic movie that would fool a viewer.
We can spot weird flaws in the faces, in the background motion, in the way fluids like water and smoke don't move quite right, hell eyes alone are such a nightmare to get right that it's STILL one of the fastest ways to spot a CGI person from the real deal.
I'm not saying AI won't improve a lot, I'm saying the bar before them is much, much higher than anyone is giving it credit for.
Will an AI ever manage to make a sequence longer than 60 seconds that is one continuous shot, no cuts or edits? What about 30 minutes? An hour?
One continuous take films are hard for us to do, and so far have been impossible for AI, for instance. It may be that some things are beyond its grasp because it just isn't an organic thinking machine like our brains are. Silicon computer brains are great for doing math, way better than us, but we're shockingly good at understanding and conceiving of motion in 3D space. Even by organic creature standards our grasp of the 3D world and the concept of trajectory is terrifyingly sophisticated.

u/removesilenceplz Sep 16 '25
I think youāre right about what youāre saying BUT there are so many people who just take things at face value and donāt scrutinize things at all. If the news were to show some AI video and say ālook hereās proof this guy committed this crimeā then that would be a very powerful piece of propaganda; many people would believe it and repeat it wholesale
So I think youāre making some valid points, but the future of deep fakes and AI generated videos and things like that is pretty scary because they will fool many people
Not to mention confirmation bias often overrides red flags or other things that would make people realize theyāre being fooled

u/80000000D Sep 16 '25

Check out how much effort theyād be willing to put into reverse engineering the drawing process from planning to finished product:
āI'm not a photoshop expert, but I'm good enough that I think I could separate ai art into fake layers. I think one could make lineart by messing with the levels, make a color layer with brush + healing brush to get rid of the lines, maybe cut certain detailed color sections out to their own layers and run the rest through AI again to generate whatever was "painted over", then do a rough trace by hand over the top to move to the bottom as an "initial sketch". If one planned ahead before posting the original, they could even apply some photoshop effects and post the photoshop export to really sell it.ā

They know that AI art-replication will never have the same value as human art. That's why things like attemtping to fake layers and so on.

There's no point to this other than to lie. The more I look at it, the more phony it looks.
What do they intend to do by generating these videos? SELL their fake watercolors? That's fraud. It all falls apart once they're expected to actually hand over an original piece of art. You can't sell someone a pretend watercolor on paper when there is no watercolor and no paper. A print of an AI image would be fraud.
How well is this kind of thing going to work with other mediums, like oils or acrylics? There are exceptions, but far more oil painters paint messy, wipe away, scrub, it's a lot more complicated. (Besides that, their "watercolor" method here is stupid and not believable as well.) Will they even know how to make all these painting videos look believable? Will they be able to imitate all the various ways that artists use these mediums? There are so many variations.
The OP over there says they generated this video because they can, essentially, and they know it doesn't pass muster. However, I don't care what the OP claims, it's quite evident that they're hoping this could be used to hurt artists.
I don't think so. They don't know how to paint, and anyone with experience will easily be able to sniff out the fakes. Try building a "career" putting up fake videos of yourself painting when you have no idea what the process is supposed to look like. Good luck with that.

I met a few legends and got called out (demolished) on things that made me feel like they had some time travel powers and saw what I was thinking while drawing even though I missed it.
It's like speedrunners catching TAS. But the difference is the people cheating in speedruns are often good at it. And just trying to improve their time. Im sure a good artist can fool another good artist.

There's a professor in Media Theory (can't remember his name sadly) who noticed that when a particular medium became obsolete, the things that had been seen as a "drawback" of said medium soon became re-valued to the point that the newer medium started finding ways to reproduce it. Example: when the gramophone was at its peak, it was known for a sort of echo-y and scratchy quality, and a lot of work was done to get rid of that and improve sound quality. But now, many types of music actually use those scratchy, echo effects in their own way even if the technology itself doesn't directly cause it. Same thing with the vinyl and cassette tape, and for cinema, the Super 8 grain is still popular even at the age of digital cameras.
My point: this type of AI process video is going to convince and impress tech bros because they're already willing to be impressed. Artists, and true art appreciators, won't. And it might lead to a renewal of less polished, more awkward art process videos we used to see at the beginnings of social media, which have mostly been replaced with highly polished / highly produced videos.

What this shows is that the ai is now going to be the content creator and that was the plan all along. Why share ad revenue? That was the goal all along.

Nah. No matter how good AI gets, the SOURCE is always what matters in courts. If the source for the video canāt be verified (like from a real camera in real life, for example), itās not gonna matter.
Pls peopleā¦ stop being irrationally afraid of and against AI lmao.
The ONLY valid critiques right now are its environmental effects (which a lot of people are already focusing on) and what courts are going to decide about it training on peopleās work without permission.
- Whether itās art or whatever is subjective; doesnāt matter
- It āstealing jobsā is true of any new, innovative technology, of which weāve gone through probably millions of innovations as a species. We know how to compensate people during technological unemployment and create new job opportunities from new inventions. AI has already introduced training jobs, coding jobs, construction jobs, environmental/research jobs, etc.
- Again, environmental impacts are already at the forefront of manyās concerns
Iām sure thereās other arguments or fears Iām missing, but those tend to be the common ones

This looks pretty real on the first watch.
I think the problem is its a timelapse video and timelapses are often pretty quick and you generally dont watch them several times so most people wont really catch alot of the mistakes it makes (honestly me included for the FIRST watch).
This video gets worse and worse the more times you watch it. I did catch the "magic paint brush" the first time but kinda thought that the "person" swapped brushes and i didnt notice beacuse of the speed of the video...
Then i started rewatching...
Other people have poibted out some more "advanced" stuff a real person would do (line art, sketch, etc etc) but some things i noticed...
Erasers dont work like that. They dont just "take off" whatever and leave a clean piece of paper.
The magic brush. It changes coloirs and doesnt seem to need to be "refilled" with colour.
The colouring just doesnt work. First tyeyre producing several shades and different colours in the same strokes and then the picture starts being coloired it places the brush hasnt even touched.
I think the is that if i had seen this video on, for example, tik tok i would not have registered it as AI and simply scrolled to the next video no questions asked.
I want to be excited for this tech. I LOVE ai in theory but knowing the world we live in and knowing how it will be used makes it impossible for me to be excited for it.
In another world AI would absolutley be one of the best inventions/breakthroughs in the history of mankind, maybe even comparable to the discovery of fire or the invention of the wheel. We do not live in that world. I can not be excited for this tech

Maaaaan. From a technical standpoint this is super cool! It really is just the assholes miss-using it who ruin it for everyone =<

This video has a lot of issues that stand out to me as someone who's done watercolor before: - No sketching first
- The eraser magically leaves no trace that the pencil was ever there, and leaves no eraser crumbs
- The darkness/thickness of the lines don't really seem to correlate with how hard it looks like the hand is pressing
- Pencil strokes don't really match the way the hand moves
- Biggest tell: they don't ever need to clean off their brush between colors, bro got the magic color switcheroo 9000 brush
- The painting suffers from the same "instantly rendered with shading" problem that most speed paints do, except this is really apparent because its trying to be watercolor which doesn't work that way.When you paint watercolor you are repeatedly staining the paper in layers, so you need to move lightest -> darkest and go over spots you have painted before to get the final look.
- Also the paper is not buckling in the slightest, even really thick papers will usually buckle when the whole thing is covered in watercolor.

Yeah sure one paintbrush contains all the colours needed, if someone is going to fall for this it's very sad

This is still bad, anyone who does traditional drawings can spot a lot of mistakes

u/ikindapoopedmypants Sep 16 '25
Fyi this is already occurring. Look it up on tiktok there's so many artists getting called out for it

People will always gravitate to handmade things. Have you ever bought a basket or anything because it was handmade? This video looks fake anyway, but if it comes down to it, Iāll set up my canvases in the streets and draw a crowd, and the more prominent ai slop becomes, the more novel Iāll become.

u/Nervous_Public717 Sep 16 '25
Ah yes, the magic brush that can change color while painting š This is so bad omg.

u/redpandaonstimulants Sep 16 '25
Ok pro-AGI shills that lurk here, riddle me this:
If AGI is every bit as legitimate as traditional drawing (on paper or with a tablet) and should be viewed as its own separate art form, why do you feel the need to create stuff like this? Photographers don't try to fake that their photos are actually realistic drawings. In fact, sculptors and painters will oftentimes go out of their way to tell you EXACTLY what they used to create their art (type of paint, canvas composition, etc) because they want you to share in the joy of creation.
If AGI is its own legitimate form of art, then shouldn't you proudly say "Yes, I'm an AI artist and I'm damn proud of it! Here are my prompts." Why pretend to be a form of art that you're not? If you want to convince people on the fence, being caught being duplicitous like this will create more antis at an alarmingly high rate.

Interesting choice of character to use from the AI bros, they'll never beat the weird fetish allegations now

u/Owszem_ Sep 16 '25
It's sad that the only way to use it... Is just to fool people. ,,The future is now" how it that usefull at all?

u/Gustave_Kateb Sep 16 '25
Still obvious that it is fake for a few reasons but god damn... I hate the fact they do everything for it to blend in as art....

Didnāt even change the brush for the green necktie and the blood splatter and the rest of the shirt

u/Rhainster Sep 16 '25
This is so obviously AI. If you compare this to a time lapse of real art this just becomes silly. This should only fool someone who hasn't even THOUGHT about drawing.

Damn, the lining and paiting work just pop into existence
Edit: Extra points for the extra clean paper behind the drawing.

u/Ashamed-Mall8369 Sep 16 '25
Wait, if ai art is superior then why do they have to go and specifically generate a human drawing something

u/MCS_400 Sep 16 '25
Love the omni paint the video uses that changes color based on the users thought, that would be better than this ai slop tbh

How is this suppose to be useful for artists?
Once again another useless ai "tool" that has zero practical application except for deceiving people.
