This is a simple guide for everyone on how to recognise AI just by looking at it. Although there are more complex methods, this guide is primarily aimed at beginners, relying on our most important tool: our eyes.
One of the most obvious characteristics: details are missing from the cover to the real 3D model. Why would an artist deliberately delete details?
Even the simplest shapes are misplaced and out of order. A beginner could not make these mistakes. In fact, only an AI would make such complex mistakes. Pay close attention: this is not about simple mistakes, but complex errors that would take hours to deliberately create.
The complexity of the project varies. Why should creators do that? They commit to a level of complexity before the project begins. In this example, the level of complexity in one area is insufficient to round it off. Just look at the pointed pyramids/triangles, where the 3D model struggles to make them round, while the other surfaces are round without any problems.
Symentire is wrong for no reason. While this is sometimes a design decision, most creators are lazy and only design one side, mirroring the second. This is precisely where almost all AI models fail. Think about it for a moment: Why would a creator want to do twice the work? Of course, they don’t, and they use mirror tools instead.
Faces are simply not connected for no reason. No one would ever do that, as it is almost impossible to achieve unintentionally in Blender. You would have to deliberately separate the faces.
Please note: These are, of course, only indications and clues, so never be too quick to suspect someone of being AI. Always ask yourself:
- Is this a mistake that a beginner would make?
- Or is it a complex, absurd mistake that no human would ever make because it would cost hours of extra work (AI)?
- Designers are “lazy” and want to save themselves work: Is it a “shortcut” or is it “completely nonsensical extra work that also looks bad” (AI)?
