Google Lens, Tineye ... no hits at all before 2026. AI slop is everywhere (sigh).

I guess the subtext is that I do try to filter the AI art stuff, but it's getting hard.

@simonwilliamson

I really liked it or I wouldn't have bothered. Also it didn't vibe quite right vs real examples of his work. So I've learned not to trust even plausible pre-attributions on social media. Grrr...
