Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Same here. What are the signs here?

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 15 points 15 hours ago

I left another comment down there somewhere, but here's something

The most obvious tell to me is that it looks more like a filter than a real drawing. So far all AI drawings look like this. There's also details that I was able to pick apart:

Why did the artist choose to draw everyone gazing into nowhere in particular, and not for example at each other?
People have detailed faces, but their expressions seem unrelated to the message. Same applies to positions.
The concentration camp victim is especially scared of something offscreen while the SS officer holding his shoulders, as if he was protecting this small man..?
The artist chose to very clearly display the sheriff holding his fist in front of the native american, but for no apparent reason. Same for ICE.
Why did the artist choose to use three victims in the last panel, making the composition weird and unbalanced.

Maybe it's because of different amounts of exposure to AI stuff or something, but the only feeling I can get from this style and the empty stares is that something's just off, and I hate looking at this so much.

Look at the Nazi insignia. It's all AI garbled noise.

Weird eyes on the native American. The soldier/sherif is holding his braid for some reason.

The SS officer has garbled ensignias.

The faces of the immigrants are nearly just copy pasted.

Right after commenting I did look for clues and I noticed these, but I doubt I would've checked if other comments weren't pointing out it's AI.

That boy… oh boy… his eyes.

It was the eyes that gave it away for me. They look, just, wrong.
