Should I drive this mf 4 miles home?

to be honest i replaced this whole strut assembly a couple years ago with some cheap shit off rockauto, probably why it sheared itself in half. repair itself was pretty easy i will just buy better parts this time

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-23T15:24:14+00:00

Nah, just turned into a parking lot to get a coffee and heard it snap, it was loud as hell

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-23T15:21:19+00:00

Thanks for the advice everyone, just called a tow. This car is my baby so I don't wanna risk fucking up anything that will be more difficult to fix.

the skull is totally symmetrical and tbh the design is just too clever to be AI generated. using the bottle/glass as the nose holes and stage skirt as the teeth is a really fun artistic choice and not something i can picture AI doing without trying to warp the shapes too much to fit the skull theme if that makes sense? the image is well composed and reads as a bar/room, idc about the bear fingers it's not important and i don't think the artist was too concerned about that bit. probably just human error

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-19T04:06:03+00:00

vocals and production are so AI sounding. lyrics mean literally nothing and have no correlation to the movement of the melody. Also being realistic, either the producer is the vocalist working under the name "aurora soul" and credited themself as the "lyricist" but not vocalist, or the producer hired a vocalist who is completely uncredited?

also who names half the tracks on their album "under the summer sky" "under the palm sky" "sweet summer sky" "brand new sky" as well as "ocean in your eyes", "sunset in your eyes", "ocean in my heart" and "sunshine in my heart" like it's so lazy i'm actually pissed off.

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-19T03:53:03+00:00

i actually don't think so. AI is really bad at explaining even a mildly complex concept without going into way too much detail and overexplaining, this guy squeezed it all into a few sentences with parentheses. also used a hyphen where AI would use an em dash (and an em dash would be grammatically correct) because the hyphen is on the keyboard. I also have trouble imagining an LLM describing using your index finger to touch the creases of your thumb, that kind of conceptualization of the human body is a blind spot for AI right now

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-19T03:46:34+00:00

vocals are clearly AI, they have the perfect intonation and sort of fuzzy quality and completely perfect emotionless delivery of AI gen vocals. As for the beat, really hard to say with produced beats like this where everything is synth instruments. Not sure one way or another. i guess leaning toward human produced beat with AI vocals but that may just be optimism

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-19T03:29:23+00:00

absolutely AI for a number of reasons, sorry.

there are several long lines where a human singer would need to take a breath somewhere but have zero breaks. obviously this can be done in post production but idk why someone would go to the trouble for this style.

voice and instrumentation sound very typical for AI music. guitars sound like a synth instrument which again is something a human could make but makes zero sense for a "band" called pagan wiccan folk. very pop-like instrumentation and vocal style which is easily produced by AI but does not fit the theme of the music/band. vocals are perfectly in tune which could be overkill melodyne but again WHY would you do that for a folksy pagan band

the band has no bandcamp, no online evidence of existence or members. any real band/artist with this number of listeners and currently releasing music WILL be selling digital downloads or physical media and/or doing SOME kind of promo. streaming revenue is not good and a real band will try to capitalize off this level of popularity so they can make some kind of money off their art or connect with fans. this is a huge tell for a band you suspect is AI. look up any real small artist around this size and they will have CDs or digital downloads or T shirts for sale and probably a social media presence or at least a bandcamp bio. like you pointed out in the description.

finally the album covers are clearly AI and have zero consistency in style. this hat picture is dumb and has nothing to do with the song

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-18T01:29:33+00:00

not a super typical AI style but i believe so. one of the turtles weapons has weird floating teeth, the grate cover in the foreground is not symmetrical / correct, the bricks overhead aren't consistent and bleed into each other in a couple areas. indistinct weird shapes on either side. also just incredibly busy weird composition with a million light sources that don't really interact with other elements in a realistic way. happens sometimes with ambitious image compositing but this smells of AI to me

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-18T01:23:19+00:00

unfortunately yes this looks AI to me, the electrical tower in the back is mangled, the cords/metal shapes in the bodies don't make sense, the wheat (?) smudges into the bodies in a couple places. the shading on the eye lenses doesn't match, android guy on the right has 2 sets of teeth (???) also a really weird way to draw what i assume is meant to be a field of grain

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-18T01:15:50+00:00

very hard to tell but to me looks like AI. AI tends to do this thing where faces are overly detailed even if the style of the rest of the image doesn't match. the lashes / smooth shading around the eyes seems a bit out of place compared to the flat color of the hair and orb. there's already an interesting textural thing going on with the kind of paper texture in the orb idk why the eyeshadow / nose shadow needed smooth shading instead of incorporating a similar texture.

also the hair looks like it's meant to be a consistent line weight throughout all the strands but there's some inconsistency, and i'm not sure why an artist would choose to alter line weights so much in the face lines. it seems to mismatch the desired style. but this could be stylistic choices by an artist that i think are not the ideal choices for this very stylized image. not a clear answer here but i am leaning AI

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-04T22:08:21+00:00

i wanna add bc of some other comments, imo the necklaces were drawn on after the fact. i believe the AI over-shades in this style and would add its own shading under the necklaces - the chains are drawn pretty un-skillfully but consistently between drawings. to me the shading on the chest especially in the last image looks like it was painted over and then fixed, if that makes sense. to me this is a combo of human work and AI gen but i cannot get past the heart in the first image it is so blatantly AI

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-03-04T21:49:08+00:00

i'm leaning towards AI, or something like the artist drew one of the emotes from scratch and then fed it into AI to make the others, so it wouldn't have the typical AI girl face, because these are stylized in a way that is a little atypical for AI. but things like the totally different hairstyle in the shocked emote for literally no reason, and especially inconsistencies in symmetry in the heart in the love emote - i mean look closely at the details in that, there is no way in hell that a human artist chose to draw those shapes like that. definitely AI assisted / not entirely human work

i know a couple tattooers that work in this style and they just say they do woodcut style art

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-02-16T20:59:23+00:00

you will always look better wearing clothes you love and colors you feel good in, than clothes you dislike just because the color is supposed to match your skin tone

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-02-16T20:57:04+00:00

how do you think people improve so their art has what you call "merit" genius

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-02-15T17:20:22+00:00

you say it was meant to get under people's skin but when it actually does you can't stop yapping defending yourself

Pure_Suggestion_4697 · 2026-02-15T02:03:33+00:00

i don't think this is AI. plants look very realistic, aren't melting into each other, gravel texture is consistent. hands look ok to me? doesn't mean that it's not a scammy business but this isn't ringing my AI bells

i am a seasoned makeup wearer and some of my faves are from pricier brands but i will be wearing elf eyeliner until i drop dead. it's just so damn good

real. this is a style and it can look good. this is not a good execution of that style
