Before I come to the regular post and artist info, I need your opinion: look at this image (or some other of the artist). How long did you take to see that this is AI (without looking at the tags) and what detail gave it away?

Besides the art style, top right part of window. AI has hard time with background details that span across a foreground element

In which way? The dimensions of the window are somewhat uncommon but even the horizontal line is consistent (not bend or suddenly stops).

I'm asking as this image was the first one where I didn't recognize it as AI, even after looking at it for some time. And this frightens me as I dislike AI "art" and don't want to post (or even think "huh, nice artwork") something like that here by accident.

The top right of the window looked like it didn't line up with the left side but just checked in paint and it's fine mb

Eyes are a pretty good indicator. When they're open, the irises are really pixelated. If they're closed, they are either not closed completely or they have some kind of double eyelid. The bangs tend to get pixelated/noisy too because they overlap with the eyebrows or lashes.

Can see the guy's eye has that double eyelid and they are closed in a strange way. But I'm not an artist, they could have been going for a half-closed look. I don't blame you for thinking it was real art, it's kind of ambiguous. I used to generate AI images so I've looked at a lot of AI and that's probably how I know?

Thank you. I will keep an eye on the eyes :D
