I am afraid it's probably a LOT of them. Some I judged with a zero and reported passed with 2.something stars. I'll look them back up when i'm home (I'm at work) and send them over here if nobody got to it before me.

You could just look at your voting history and easily find them there.

Slightly unsure about loaded images in Sources, but otherwise matches:

https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/986300 (isolated in ungrounded, zipped, can't check sources)

I've seen this image a lot and I tried to do a reverse image search on it so see where it's from and found nothing. Do any of you know what LLM it came from?


Noted that LLMs can't generate images but since this image has been present in all Shinobi Slice related entries it's obvious it had to be done with a multimodel tool like Volter


Now, I think more than one tool may be at play, but I can't tell you which exactly besides the general tells that NG games don't usually have... it may get tricky

Should there be a blogpost made about this? It would make sense to spread this and teach portalgoers how to look for this stuff and report it.

If you value your account, and enjoy perusing Newgrounds in a free and un-banned state, then Do NOT do either of these.

Good point. If the slopspammers know we're onto them, they could simply delete that image from the game files before uploading.

Revised post paints a better reason not to. I'm going to have to agree with this and hopefully it becomes just common knowledge and the staff can handle it.

As someone who is in the thumbnail crew,


We don't care if the icon picture is AI-created


The videos and games that matter don't have AI thumbnails, and the ones that do have AI thumbnails don't matter because they are already showing off the author's level of caring about the uploaded content


It's a beautiful litmus test for several reasons

I never thought about it like that but I'm liking your argument.

Agentface is a sick troll, read these two posts that me and my friend did about him and his controversy.
