What is also possible is that an artist is using AI generated references.
This ant is terrible.
I'm still thinking about this damn ant.
Most charitable take: The artist used a bad reference possibly AI.
Least charitable take: The artist is trying to overcome the backlash to AI art on etsy by lying.
Looking at their other work the other insects are well-rendered. The ant is the only with the problem.
It's not just the body. The head is also strangely proportioned in a way that is common in AI generated ants.

I have horribly mixed feelings about this, because I have long loved SF and fantasy art, and I've seen some great SF insect-inspired aliens, and fantasy insect-inspired fantasy creatures which this "ant" shares much with, especially the human-torso-like aspects of the prothorax (for want of a better term), but from now on, it will always represent the nuance in AI discourse. -

I've definitely seen far worse AI ants than that.

I'm sorry, I wasn't sure if I should post it, but the idea was to brace yourself before looking. I may delete it.With it coming up in general image searches on ants, lots of people are seeing things like these without warning. I hate how this stuff is flooding the whole internet.

I don't understand why whoever owns that website would even post them.It's an SEO trap. Just tons of pages designed to attract search so they can boost the links of other pages.
