this is your periodic reminder that for all the artifacts and errors and "tells" one could possibly list, the only reliable way to actually determine if an image is ai generated is to investigate the source. it is becoming increasingly common for "fake classical paintings" to circulate around curative aesthetic blogs, and everyone should be using this as an opportunity to not only exercise their investigative skills but also appreciate art more in general. you're all checking out the artists you reblog, right? 🫣

so what are some signs to look for? let's use this very good example.

what a lovely late-impressionist piece blended with evocative leyendecker-esque themes! why haven't you ever heard of this artist before? surely tumblr would be all over an artist like this. who is justin brown?

your two options from here are to do a search for the name, or a reverse image search. i prefer reverse image searching, particularly when it comes to a common name like "justin brown". so what does that net?

Immediately, without looking at any text, something is wrong: it barely exists. an actual historical piece would turn up numerous results from websites individually discussing the piece, but no such discussions are taking place. Looking at the text, though, does show the source-- and at least in this case, the creator was honest about their medium.

But let's also look at the "exact matches", in case a source doesn't make itself apparent in the initial sidebar results like this.

This section will often tell you post dates of images, and here it can be seen that the very first iteration of the image was posted 15 days ago. It did not exist online prior to that.

Seeing how long an unsourced image has been floating around is a skill applicable to more than just generative images! See a cool image of an artifact or other intriguing item with a vivid caption? Reverse search it! If all the results are paired with that caption and only go back a few months, you might just have viral facebook spam.

Sometimes generative creators are dishonest about their medium and do not tag it like in the example, so that's when establishing "jpeg provenance" becomes important. While it can be a little trickier to determine if someone is using generative images and not admitting to it if they aren't trying to pass it off as a classic, something to consider is the age of their account and the frequency with which they post. Here are some account red flags:

-Did they only start posting art after 2022, or if they did before, did their style/skill level WILDLY change? Not gradual improvement-- I'm talking amateur graphite portraits straight into complex digital renders. Everyone starts somewhere, newness is not a red flag alone; it's newness combined with existing in a vacuum away from any community.

-Do they post fully-finished paintings several times a week? -Do many of these paintings seem iterative of a similar theme or subject matter ("three well-dressed young men face each other under shade and dappled sunlight")?

-Does their style change in inconsistent ways? An artist that can swap between painting like Drew Struzan and Hokusai should be pretty well known, right? Why is no one hyping this guy?!

-Do they have social media besides the source instagram? If so, what are they posting about? Are there any WIPs? Doodles? Interactions with other artists? Gallery dates? 3am self-doubt posts? Or is it all self-promo? Crypto? Seemingly nothing art-related at all for someone pushing out 3 weekly paintings?

Basically, if it's important to you to omit this stuff when you curate, please don't just smash reblog if the source doesn't seem to be the OP themselves. Seeking out sources was important even before this became an issue, now it is more than ever.

Queer Rep in The Polybius Conspiracy

Title: The Polybius Conspiracy

    Status: Complete

    Co-Producers: Jon Frechette & Todd Luoto

    Queer Creators: Unknown

    Accessibility: No content warnings or transcripts available.

Summary: The Polybius Conspiracy is a seven-part series, originally heard on Showcase, which tells the complex story of two men united by a decades-old urban legend. Polybius, a mysterious arcade game from the ‘80s whose alleged existence in the Pacific Northwest is fueled by myth and an obsessive online fan base, and which may have factored in the abduction of two teenage boys. Told as a hybrid documentary/fictional story, the series is an artful meditation on how urban legends take hold and spread, and an exploration into how we consume and perpetuate information in the internet age.

SHADOW OF THE TEMPLAR

(read the original books here)

The way I’ve been reading and re reading these books these last few weeks… And how I wish there were more fanfics about it.

My headcanon is that after 6 years, Simon starts doing couple things without realizing, touching Jeremy for no reason, just a passing hand on a hip, a squeeze of the shoulder. He’ll kiss Jeremy hello and it’s so ingrained, he will do it in front of the team and not even realize what an earth shattering moment that is. Jeremy will raise an eyebrow but take in stride and not mention it, even if he does notice everyones reaction (probably at poker night).

Even after 6 or 7 years, Simon would probably be the last person to acknowledge he's in a serious monogamous relationship with Jeremy and he has no plans of changing or ending that state of being.

His team (and Annabelle of course) would notice how he calls Archer more frequently, to talk about whatever, be it his current boring job of babysitting a senator getting death threats, to complain of his new neighbor, how he went to this party and the food sucked (not to mention he rejected all offers, male or female, without a second thought) or even to try to coax Jeremy into dropping by again cause it's been 2 months since he last did and it ended too fast cause Simon was called back to work. The words "I miss you" are never spoken, but to whoever is listening (Jeremy and, because he's been calling during work, a blushing Nate and a chill Johnny in the team room) it's clearly there.

Thoughts of changing apartments are also coming to mind more frequently. A new (bigger and better) apartment and a second key. It's not that he wants to give it to Jeremy, he just wants to avoid a neighbor calling the police about the thief.

There's also that nagging feeling of domesticity he has been craving with Jeremy. He sometimes entertains the idea of Jeremy leaving the crime business and... He always stops there. Late at night, he does think of Jeremy and of Jeremy and him and where they are going. He doesn't think about the future together as much as where they're going.

It surprises him when he goes out at night with some of the guys he did the FBI training with and when asked if he's single, he denies it, saying he's involved. It surprises him because it's a mere statement of fact. It's not a lie or a deceit to get them off his back. So he tries it again and says out loud he's been in a relationship for some time, years. He evades any further questions but it's there.

He ends up admiting it to himself later as well. And when that barrier is broken, he will admit to wanting more. Ultimately he will get the new apartment, he will give that second key to Archer warning against attempts of breaking and entering (not asking him to move in just yet). Archer will start showing up more often, leaving stuff around the house (a toothbrush, his froufrou shampoos and shower gels, a shirt or two).

They'll join poker night together and banter all the time. But everyone will see and know that they're more than just Archer and Simon now...
