Their artist profile has a link to their AIBooru profile....

ETA: Also a lot of AI prompters don't disclose that they use AI in their artworks.

What a menace... they even sell their fanbox and booth items. I've reported them on Pixiv since their content are not supposed to make it to the main page with the new policy. However I'm really curious to how they were deemed to be an AI creator because it completely went under my radar.

I am very suspicious of mama netorare dokokai in which I heard of recently and noticed that in post #11161143, Misaki's halo is completely messed up. The others' are also weird but not as standout as that one. There are other weird stuff but I can't prove if it's an error or an AI artifact.

However, a more recent artwork that isn't uploaded here has more glaring artifacts that makes me believe that they are using AI. for reference the character is Misuzu (Blue Archive).
A: Jacket melts into the gold lining randomly at the middle.
B: Holes on the belt are sporadic in shape and placement, too unrealistic to be human incompetence.
C: Chain's pattern is not discernable. Patterns on small objects are usually subject to sloppy AI artifacts. As a tip, zippers if present are usually a good litmus test for AI identification.
D: The belt buckle is partially obscured but I don't find that it matches the Valkyrie logo as referenced. And the buckle's shape is also different.
E: Biggest offender is the badge in which what should be a geometric 8-pointed star is now replaced with complete mush of a 'pattern'

When I wanna upload asset #47869939, I notice her hair looks weirdly shaped between her fingers. And I'm pretty sure all of their works are AI-gen

The hair in all their posts has major issues that any human wouldn't draw, it's definitely AI.

Hmm, I'm really doubting that it's AI enough to call it fully AI-generated considering posts like post #11031667 The background elements are all solidly drawn, that gun especially would be a mess if it was AI. I'm also seeing no mushiness on other small details such as the fingers, and eyelashes and the weirdness in the hair looks like human-grade weirdness to me. I do think that it's drawn over a 3d base but that's not against the rules (obviously). On the asset given I'm also seeing very human-like lineart gaps.

Thank you! Just been a bit frustrating dealing with ai contents on my way to becoming a Builder/Contributor.

The best way to screen for AI is to check if an artist has deleted posts and if any of them are tagged with AI. If you find an artist who doesn't have any works here and you're unsure if it's AI, you can always ask in this topic.

I would like to report that the artist Kametoyou is not a legitimate artist. For over a year now, they have been taking AI-generated images, easily found on Pixiv, and tracing over them. Sometimes they make minor edits, but then they upload the result to their Twitter as if it were a fully original drawing, without disclosing that the base was AI-generated.

The earliest case I have documented comes from @manaka_Alillust (the account has been deleted, but I still have the images).
Kametoyou’s version was posted on March 5, 2025, and is shown here:
https://x.com/kametoyou/status/1897271276114468946/photo/1

Meanwhile, the original by manaka_Alillust was posted on March 2, 2025:
https://i.imgur.com/l5Mt9Sp.png (the original image)
https://i.imgur.com/3N101aG.png (The original publishing date)

The second traced drawing I identified is this Tsukasa illustration, posted on March 3, 2025:
https://twitter.com/kametoyou/status/1896546264042594531/ (currently deleted)
https://web.archive.org/web/20250303130040/https://twitter.com/kametoyou/status/1896546264042594531/ (archived version)

The original was posted on January 25, 2025 by the user Aoka on Pixiv, and it was generated using NovelAI:
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/126549377

This case has a particularly telling detail: the resolution matches Pixiv’s thumbnail size exactly. Here is a comparison, it aligns perfectly.

I confronted them on Discord in an art server. They only admitted that the Aya drawing was traced, but denied tracing the Tsukasa one, which is strange, since the Tsukasa image clearly has an AI-generated style (even at that time, NAI outputs were already recognizable).

So, is that the end of it? Not at all.

In September 2025, I found that they had traced yet another AI-generated illustration.

The original image was posted on April 28, 2025, and can be found here (it is the last image in the set):
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/129809596

Now, focusing only on what has been uploaded to Danbooru, we have this recent Hatate post:
post #11014789

After a quick search, I easily found the original image:
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/142465825

Kametoyou only redrew the head; the rest is identical.
The arm position is the same, the tie has the exact same fold over the arm, the pouch is identical, and the skirt has the same number of folds in the exact same places.

Another traced image I found is this one:
post #11071277

The original comes from here, and unlike the Hatate case, this one is IDENTICAL.
The arm position is identical, the leg position is identical, even the absence of bloomers is the same. The face is also identical, including the V-shaped eyebrows, only the black wrist cuff was removed.
https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/138048525

My conclusion is that this behavior is not going to stop. This person has over a year of history taking AI-generated images, supposedly “as reference” but in practice simply tracing them (as evidenced by the resolution matching Pixiv thumbnails).

As for the claim that they might not recognize AI-generated content, I find that highly unlikely. Images like the Tsukasa one clearly show typical AI characteristics.
Additionally, the Tsukasa, Hatate, and Marisa images all come from large image sets (a common indicator of AI-generated content), and these are rarely the primary pieces in such collections. The profiles they source from are also clearly labeled as “AI artists.”

I would also like to point out that Kametoyou appears to be aware that these images are AI-generated, as they consistently fix fingers or remove unnecessary elements (such as Aya’s ribbon or Marisa’s wrist cuff). However, they never disclose any AI involvement and present the works as entirely their own drawings.

It is also debatable whether their edits constitute any meaningful “improvement.” I am not an expert artist, but many of their drawings are nearly identical copies that retain most of the original perspective errors. The quality is often noticeably worse, and there is no significant added value that would justify calling the result “80% human and the rest AI” in reality, it is almost entirely AI-based.

To avoid any further confusion, I believe all of this artist’s uploads should be removed from Danbooru, as there is no guarantee that any of them are not traced.

Edit, i found another one

(Tray, cup and fries is in the same position; the burger, ascot, and hat are identical.)

I don't think it's AI either. AI would have completely mucked up those logos and lettering on post #10626013, or even the shoelaces. I also don't see what's so AI-like about the hair, but what do I know.

In my opinion this is not AI at all, but if it is it's ai-assisted at worst.

it's not AI, it's looks very much hand drawn. it would be impossible for AI to generate a background this coherent post #11031667

It says AI in the pixiv tags. It's definitely touched up a lot by the artist, but you got to take them at their word. They're all at least AI assisted
