It is likely compressed using some AI tool before saving on their servers.
Jigna Zhang has a strong stance against using AI in her works, going as far as creating Cara, an alternative platform for artists to share their work, no-AI. Cara is moderated to prevent AI portfolios from being uploaded to the site, with the goal that the community remains always human-first. I’ve been following Jigna’s work since the 2000’s when she was already a notorious photographer, with a portfolio that got her to work with big brands, being featured in editorials in relevant magazines, and having her solo expositions.
This is to say that the photo being shown in the post was a work very much finalized by 2013 and she has no business re-editing it now, much less applying AIslop on top of her work.
Also worth to point out what other commenters said, that instagram and other AI detecting tools has been giving false positives for legit human-made work. We can’t take what AI says as the truth lol they’re very prone to error and allucination
I think they were suggesting that the service she hosted the image on used some AI tool for compression which modified it in such a way to be flagged by the scanner. They were not suggesting that she used an AI tool herself.
Actually I was suggesting that the service having compressed it with some AI-based tool ironically made the scanner’s report correct.
The actual scanner was probably BS anyway and would have even flagged the original.
I bet this is because LLMs stole her art for training, so now that the LLM users have pumped out thousands of slop-art aping hers down to the colour palate and brushstrokes, her originals also get identified as also AI.
LLMs don’t steal art for training, image generation models are fed datasets by humans, which are then invoked by LLMs when prompted
Arguing semantics is a classic strategy of people who don’t have a valid argument to make.
No, words have meanings, I hate AI as much as the average lemming but “LLMs stole art” is just a horrible way to describe what actually happened. It makes it sound like LLMs are going rogue and collecting art themselves. Humans decided to train an image generation model specifically on art like the one in the OP, and just glued an LLM on top of the final model. LLMs are not the ones that do this. I wasn’t even trying to defend anything or anyone here, but I guess this place is too toxic to even use correct phrasing.

I feel you on a daily basis here, however I do think you could consider what the tone of your first response was like. There are a lot of AI supporters out there and I genuinely think you sounded like one there.
Yeah I considered editing it after the first response but had better things to. Karma doesn’t exist on Lemmy anyways.
It’s tracing.
I’ll trace a chalk line around your dead fucking body, you fuck!
This is exactly it. Also the reason that inputting an excerpt of a classical text (cfr. Dracula, Frankenstein, …) returns “likely AI” results - it’s literally what it was trained on.
For anyone doubting Kyrgizion’s claim:
