@ehhh @Echigo i'm sorry in advance for getting autistic about this but i had to look into it lmao.

it DOES look AI to me honestly. if it isn't, then it's not good. or inconsistent at best. the back and front views of her hair are way too different (the first one is closer to her original appearance). they don't continue the stripe on top of her head to the back. weird coloration in between her right eyelashes. the lines on the shoes and the tie are definitely reminiscent of AI artwork too, kind of melty.

definitely could be just down to being an amateur i guess but it still looks..... weird. it's also pretty low resolution. like, unworkable low resolution and it looks compressed. if bro uploaded a higher res version it'd be easier to tell that it wasn't AI art.... if it really isn't.

his other recent drawings also have some weird things going on with them, the thing that immediately stood out to me was super weird inconsistencies with line thickness and some weird mouths. it is hard to tell with how compressed this is, but look at amy's eyes and mouth here. the shadow under her skirt on the left where there is nowhere for a shadow to go next to her tail. how her left shoe goes from having 3 laces to 2.

this is probably AI art that's been touched up or traced over so that it can't be detected by a program and maybe looks more natural. bro already has some experience with this sort of thing from the looks of it. it's not a 1:1 trace but it's definitely using a direct reference which ends up not really being his style.

then we have exhibit Z which is how his art apparently completely changed style in the span of 4 months.

bro was caught in like 360p on just one image lol.
