the best part is that this comic has artistic intent and creativity. looking for the hands isnt always enough anymore with ai slop. sadly
The way I can tell is through nonsensical lighting and/or composition, while it is not foolproof it is still fairly reliable.
Often times the background of an image gives it away. Like things that should be rectangular but aren't. On images with plain backgrounds it can be a lot harder to tell sometimes.
I've never seen AI slop that withstands any inspection of detail. Like clothing detail that makes no sense, or things weirdly merging one into another for no observable reason.
How do you know that you've never seen it?
I am almost certain that I've missed noticing some AI art. Sometimes I've missed noticing it at first only to notice it later. Sometimes I've been presented with images that I know are AI-generated but I would probably never have known that otherwise.
For instance, this one (found on an AI art community on Lemmy about a year ago IIRC):
If I didn't know that was AI generated from the context, I don't think I would have suspected a thing (maybe from the extra "road" on the road, but I think that's the only thing that could give it away for me. And I didn't notice it at first). Other known AI images as well have been very hard to tell, especially when they have no background.
I am opposed to AI for a lot of reasons, but I think it would be naive to think it could never fool me.
