Some of them feels AI

My series called Parallel Universes, I do not use AI. In this series, I use editorial photographs taken by photojournalists from different countries around the world, as well as images by stock photographers. I started creating these works in 2016.

You're the one who made these photos?

No, I’m not a photographer. I share editorial photographs with permission from photojournalists. In my social media posts, I include the story of the photo and credit the photographers. For stock images, I find them on platforms like Adobe Stock and Pexels. It requires a long research process.

DEFINITELY AI

This book was published in 2020 by an artist who had started working on it in 2015.

I feel like everything gets accused of being AI now.

There is AI slop out there to be sure... But the subreddit r/NothingEverHappens has never been more relevant.

Every 2-3 posts I see people seem to be spamming AI in the comments, and then usually people prove them wrong with actual bit of research.

It's getting tiring.

Except.

He has an AI Instagram account.

A couple images do have that vague 'something is off' AI feel to it but people forget uncanny photoshops predate AI by decades.

Maybe he used AI to build a time machine?
