Is it just me or the tail of the airplane look like it was ai generated?

..? In what way?

The top of the rudder just look like it's melted to one side and phased through the vertical stabilizer

I'm not so sure I agree with that assessment, that looks like you're just guessing and taking an artist fault as potential AI-involvement. Also, don't add the AI-assisted tag if you can't confirm this for one; and for two, it wouldn't apply here, as that is for pieces that have major AI involvement, not a "single rudder".

Literally no.
Read the wiki.

Literally yes, knowing the wiki is why I made that comment, don't be pedantic. Initially AI-generated then retouched, used as a reference or used for backgrounding. There is zero evidence that suggests any AI was used in this piece nor as reference material besides a "hunch" which does not qualify this post for that tag; and neither would that small of a part of the image qualify the whole post for the tag.

I said my piece. Taking a potential artist fault and spinning it as AI generated is stupid, and so is this argument. Find credible proof that there was AI generation involved beyond a hunch and then feel free to tag it that way. Otherwise, get the fuck off my case.

You're opening a can of worms by allowing a gradient when adding ai-aassisted or not.
It either is or is not.
I don't care if AI was used here. I'm concerned about your reading of the wiki page.

I don't disagree, literally my whole point is: your "hunch" is not credible enough to apply the tag. I'm not arguing this with you further.

I never said the tag should apply.

The portion you responded to said "it wouldn't apply here," and you said "Literally no."
You can be pedantic, but it does come off as you implying the tag should apply.
