AI unapproved huh, that's weird cuz I checked them on Hive Moderation and their art was said to be legit.
Man how do mods even tell if they are Ai-generated

With our eyes. And a collection of data about identifiable AI trends.

Those "AI detectors" are extremely unreliable, btw. Very easy to bypass their detection just by generating less popular styles, or simply drawing over the original to make it look human-made (as in this case) - and perhaps worse, they very often give false positives on completely legitimate artwork, particularly from the kinds of highly skilled artists that most popular AI datasets are heavily trained on in the first place. Don’t bother trusting those for a second.

Hey mod, first of all, if you could provide a thread on this, it would save the staff from having to explain it a second time.

I believe you have vast experience with distinguishability in AI-generated content. Far more experienced than I am at telling that the artist had traced some Ai content. 1) If a post is traced from Ai-generated content, Why does e621 ban that? Yeah I do know that e621 aren't allowed tracing another artist's work, but technically tracing an ownerless Ai content shouldn't bother any artists right? Like this post, I can't even tell who's the original assuming this is traced an Ai content.2) If a post isn't traced but you claim it is, how can the artist prove otherwise? I am asking the latter because this artist did tell they didn't use AI, of course this is a statement without their proving. I was just ensuring that every possible situation would have a reasonable explanation.
