I want all the money I put in to be refunded in nonsequential bills, and give it to me in one of those fancy metal briefcases please.

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Who is the artist that drew this?
Screams AI to me lol
The text gives it away; AI generated text always looks a bit off with its inconsistent sizing, kerning, and distortion.
Don't rely on that. What was that old management manipulation tactic? Put a duck in everything you present, so management can say "that's fine, just lose the duck" so they feel like they've left their mark and won't be as likely to recommend changes that would add to your workload.
If you depend on that, you're going to fall for a lot of things that don't have such obvious tells.
There's a lot going on here that indicates AI, not the least being that for something that's stylized to be a pencil illustration, the linework and colors are way too consistent. Also note:
As I previously mentioned, there's no reason to think there isn't a jump in time between panel 1 and 2. She hears something on the TV, only to later realize while working that there's no reason for her to continue if she's already been written off as worthless. Both the inconsistencies in her eyes and in the grass could easily be compression artifacts (zoom in on her hair to see very blocky compression artifacts as the algorithm fails to capture detail). There's also the fact that errors could easily just be human, as artists do make all those types of mistakes.
The biggest thing that makes me think this is human made is the cropping on the left side, like someone cropped out the artist's signature. If this is AI, the person who made it put a lot of trouble into some goofy 4d chess mind games
I mean, it is very clearly AI. If you need another thing, the hair covers the ears at different levels in each panel. Real artists don't do that, because why the fuck would they bother drawing the ears different three times in one comic, AI doesn't know any better.
Not the other person but I honestly can’t decide if this is Ai and I think your hair idea is a bit lacking.
In each panel she is in a different pose (posture) so naturally her hair is in a different position and maybe looks at different levels around the ears.
Thanks for a reasonable view. The only way I can see this settled is checking the source. The earliest and highest-quality posting of this image is this Facebook post by Neurodivergentgeekgirl. I don't have a Facebook account so I can't see all comments under that posts nor her posting history that could give hints.
You have a lot of confidence for someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. You haven't brought up overall image tones or anything "clearly"
Obviously you shouldn't rely on any one thing to determine if an image is AI generated, but in this case it's the most obvious sign.
Also the weird-ass "aura" around the character in the last panel. Afaik AIs don't really do layers so when they draw things that are supposed to be on top of a background they tend to avoid drawing anything around it
I've seen a lot of handwritten text and this is certainly within the range of handwriting styles, including the (in)consistencies.
I'm not willing to judge either way from the look alone but AFAIK this was drawn (or generated) by Neurodivergentgeekgirl on Facebook. I don't have a Facebook account so I can't check what her creation history or attitude to AI is, which could give it away.
That's a good way to catch it.
I figured through the lack of an artist signature, but it's not like that is required.
More the length of the arms
That’s just standard comic book style, looks like comic sans esque, which is directly based on comic book fonts.
Comic books style can look similar, but AI text just looks a lot more inconsistent.
So does regular hand writing. I can see this one being AI with how different the capital As are.
I don't think I've seen that specific font used in a webcomic except ones generated by ChatGPT, and ChatGPT always uses it. It's a very clear tell.
To me, the giveaway is the weird facial evolution. Why would she listen to it with an angry face and then get happy? An actual person would give the first frame a surprised expression
She might just not get the implications until the second panel
As an autistic person in an autistic family, no, we were fucking passed. It wasn't a surprise it was a wtf does a god damn brain worm know about autism.
It's not even sepia colored... It's... evolving.
