Does he though??
I looked into it and found this from not even all that long ago.
I'm all for calling slop out, but we gotta be sure. It does kinda have that style but I don't see other signs.
Edit: He's posted his art on Instagram since at least 2020, well before AI image models could put out anything nearly passable.
Its already a thing where random internet users will scream "AI slop" at indie game developers and many of them spend more time arguing that it's not, showing evidence and still losing sales because of it.
The "AI slop" people have quickly gotten as annoying as the "repost" people or "and then Albert Einstein clapped" people IMO.
The wolf spider art is familiar to me. It also is distinctly different from the salamander art to my eyes. I get it, my mistake. I have edited my comment.
I don't get the joke with the beaver.
Vanilla flavoring used to be made from castoreum, which is harvested from beaver anal glands
Something something anal glands
HA! Anal glands....

I, too, lie about not using AI to make money.
