https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts?tags=mewmirth&z=1 - pretty sus
https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/8786074?q=mewmirth - hands, wrong left armpit, strange collar, infinite noises
https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/8794509?q=mewmirth - already flagged by someone

https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/8786074?q=mewmirth - Hand can easily be a human flub, don't see what's wrong about the left armpit, the collar is just incorporating her traditional collar and brooch e.g. https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/8873425, and noise is a fairly common style decision with Western artists of this type. re: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/8794509?q=mewmirth, is eyebleed referring to that tiny sliver of color? Doesn't seem like a great basis for AI accusation. They have a timelapse of a different piece here, and a few pretty convincing WIPs, so if they're cheating, they're working really hard at it. That has happened, but I seriously doubt that's what's going on here.

While I don't disagree it looks like something AI generates, there are plenty of cases of artists accidentally stumbling upon artstyles very similar to what AI produces nowadays. You need more than just "looks like it", like obvious non-human errors, etc.

The things that look strange about these are qualities the artist's art has had since as far back as 2019: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/3647226. They've just leaned harder into that really "shiny" look AI loves to spit out.

Is there a reason you suspect this is AI-generated? It's got that sort of framing that AI favors, but the resolution is gigantic and everything else is fairly consistent with the artist's style/mistakes; see https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/4187866, which predates the AI plague by a bit. If you're looking at the errors along his jaw and cheek, that just looks like sloppy layer work.

The composition and coloring style as well as the blobby, melty eyes made me suspicious while browsing, but I don't think it is either now that you point this out.

Mismatched hair buns, asymmetrical hair intakes, uneven jacket length, etc...

The artist is not known for having AI history and the AI-like elements are referenced in the reference sheet, so I approved it for now, but a second check doesn't hurt.

The jacket & leg warmers aren't uneven in the reference sheet but are in the illustration, which is raising a flag to me. I also don't know how to describe what's going on with her jacket/shirt in the larger image other than just pointing out it uh, doesn't match the reference sheet or the fullbody shot? Bow grew larger and is now on top of her jacket instead of underneath it and it feels like it's kinda... melting into her right breast? Or a little too form-fitting to it, at least.

Mostly looks deliberate to me. Jacket length is odd but maybe the idea is that it's pressed flatter to that side because of her bag? If the hair intakes were originally an accident, they have very much committed to it.

Leg warmers can like, slip. And this image is actually a combination of two separate pieces: this and the person's actual vtuber model when streaming. Honestly, if the image should be deleted, it's because it looks like it's been through two or three rounds of compression.
