The image shows perfect spiral symmetry, which suggests it's not a fully AI generated image. It could be a base AI image that was edited by hand to form the spiral though.

The same base was likely used for https://www.shutterstock.com/pt/image-photo/surreal-infinity-time-spiral-space-antique-2262957649 as well. Same 'squiggles' it seems.

Online 'AI art detectors' are terrible and rarely accurate, so I wouldn't consider that as proof of anything.

This person has made more images in this style, I wonder how old the oldest one is (since this is one of the most recent ones). If the oldest similarly-styled one is too old, then it would be evidence that the image is likely not AI generated.

    I think you’re giving Disney too much credit here. Siphoning from shutter stock or ‘free work’ while suing everyone over anything and pretending they are the victims is their brand. They are known for stealing even from artists they wont even hire. Olaf cough

    Not to forget the actors are on strike for stuff exactly this. Their likeness being used by AI without being paid.

    “It’s a small small world after all…”

    Yeah but we don't know it was AI generated so it's all just made up bullshit unless you can provide some evidence.

    As far as I can tell all of the evidence provided is extremely dubious, and that's giving it the most positive interpretation. If I was being fair I'd say it's basically non-existent.

    There is no proof that that image was AI-generated. Various elements seem like regular old Photoshop techniques. That image could still be AI-generated or AI-assisted, but there's no real proof either way.
