FAQ

Why create this site?

There's a growing amount of people abusing AI and without integrity, people are getting, somewhat rightfully, mad at always double guessing, this *hopefully* fixes it.

Is the vetting process set in stone?

No, the vetting will go through a lot of changes and iterations throughout the site's lifetime, following the evolution of AI tools and what they can fake, also because some of the things asked are too harsh in my opinion, I also wouldn't want to have a live Session on hand every other day you know.

Can I help?

For now, no, depending on the site's popularity (i'm guessing maybe a single user at most lol), I might consider in the future, but finding those people will be hard.

The site is cool and all, but is there plans for an extension?

Needs to be said, with Claude, I used an AI coding agent to help create the site and all. If that's a deal breaker then, sorry.

How was the site made

What are your qualifications?

As the site's name, being MeKiKi, I am not a professional artist, but a "connoisseur", an appraiser, able to see works for what they are, although with AI getting better and better, it is getting harder to detect.

Why are a lot of entries set as uncertain (For future reference)

As mentioned in the above entry, AI is getting harder and harder to easily spot, and sometimes, if a user doesn't have a lot of readily available evidence online, and only drawings, without clear signs of AI use, I wouldn't want to blast someone just because he didn't post enough .clip files or wips and the like. Setting to uncertain doesn't necessarily mean the person is using AI, just not enough evidence *yet* and could be checked again in the future.

What artists would you say qualify for the Fast Path ?

Not in any order : >80/100k follows on twitter, account pre 2020 with clear works (or pixiv account showing the works), Dlsite (and related) activity of the artist with works pre 2021 if possible.

What does Mekiki mean?

目利き (Mekiki), Originating from Japan in the Muromachi period and later. Mekiki's are connoisseurs, appraisers with an expert eye, not artists themselves, but able to appraise works for their value. If you are interested in knowing more, I recommend looking at this Tokugawa art museum PDF
