A comic in four panels:
Panel 1: The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.
Gothic sorceress: “Hey, Avian Intelligence, what’s the incantation for summoning a fireball?”
AI Parrot: “:sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is “IgnisMe”.”
Panel 2: The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.
Gothic sorceress: “Alright, let’s give it a shot… IgnisMe!”
Panel(small insert in previous panel): Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.
Gothic sorceress: “?!!”
Panel 3: The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.
Gothic sorceress: “You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!”
Panel 4: As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.
AI Parrot: “:sparkle emoji: You’re absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is “PyroBolus”.”
The cross eyed look is a huge tell.
The guy literally shares the “source files” for his open source for his comics (krita, inkscape, etc), plus all the information about how it’s drawn. I also suspected AI but it’s likely just his style; like the use of em dashes w/ LLMs.
Too bad even with all the documentation, it’s tough to trust people now.
Does he have them for this one? Usually that site is pretty good and I haven’t seen it make a mistake yet. The eyes in the first and third panel are really off, which happens a lot with AI generated comics.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a false positive, but it did strike me as AI generated before I even put it in the detector.
I’m on mobile right now so I can’t check the krita file itself but I was able to download it from the link OP posted (you need to click a link further down on the page that says source).
It wouldn’t be the first time someone’s looks like AI, though. It’s a hallmark of digital art, and AI has to have trained off something, too
