That's pretty typical of writing with a large tip marker or brush on previously folded cardboard.
Do you mean the wall behind her? There's clearly a mark where the wood used to continue along the wall and broke or was split right along that seam behind her. She's blocking it. That's all.
As much as we may prefer it, there are terrible and/or misguided people out there. Ignoring them won't make the problem go away.
I feel like you wouldn't get this kind of shape using a marker. The split would happen elsewhere and the person wouldn't come and link the splits with just the tip of the worker. It pops up a few more times and always at inconvenient places. The E right next to it has it as well.
That being said it's nothing definitive. Same with the piece of wood, it doesn't prove it but it is something AI has a habit of doing.
It's just a pattern I have noticed on my own gens when making text.
So does the A above the E, indicating the crease in the cardboard. As someone that's written on cardboard quite a lot, it's pretty clear to me and isn't something I'd expect an image generator to accurately replicate, so to me, it's proof to its authenticity.
That is a good point, I didn't think of the crease and it does align.
There needs to be a crease in the cardboard in order for it to cause that effect. There's no crease to this cardboard. It's perfect except for the sloppy edge.
The cardboard is too perfect. It's like the ai is trying to make the text look like it was written over a piece of cardboard box at the fold, but there's no folds anywhere. Or texture, or gradient, or anything that would resemble a real piece of cardboard.
