Friendly reminder: The USA allows copyright of AI images if human input was given; this includes if the design was made with their art as a base, or if they edited it at all, or if AI-created lineart was colored in. Also, other countries besides the USA exist, and several allow copyright of AI images with no human input required. The risk of getting into trouble isn't worth it.

Hello! Considering what happened to the old ai user masterlist, I thought I'd make a new one!
This masterlist is for any ai "artists" you have come across, whether they be on DeviantArt, Toyhouse, or any other site! Since these people are actively scamming people out of their hard-earned money, there needs to be a list so people can't get scammed. Even if they are using their ai "art" for personal use, they are still hurting actual artists because the ai uses people's uncredited art (for full explanation see here, not my explanation but it explains really well)!
I am aware that the user who made the old psa thread was blackmailed with doxxing, but I have taken measures to prevent that. I will keep this thread open as long as I possibly can. Thanks for the help, everyone!
I will keep this masterlist updated myself with links below. Feel free to ctrl+f to see if a scammer you've found is listed already or not. Thanks!<3
DEVIANTART:
-DA has a 500 max blocklist, so keep this in mind while blocking
-Use the Tag Blocker on DA (Account Settings -> Browsing -> Muted Tags) You should select "Mute AI" but ALSO you should type in AI tags such as "aiadopt" "aiadoptable" "aiadoptables" "ai_adopt" "ai_art" "ai" "midjourney" "artbreeder" "(insert ai name)"
- Keep watch for tags on like AI/midjourney/Artbreeder/(insert AI name) character tag through character browsing system on TH
Extension:
This can help weed out ai and triggering content, too!
https://rthaut.github.io/deviantART-Filter/
This can sometimes detect ai images (not 100% accurate):
https://hivemoderation.com/ai-generated-content-detection
Before Buying on DA:
- Check account age (AI only gained popularity in 2020ish so, older than that is less likely, HOWEVER, some older artists have turned to AI)
- Check Deviation Count (Submitting many many adopts every day)
- Consider the Deviation's name (If it's a number "Adopt 3838" or generic "Elf Lady Adopt" "Anime Girl Adopt" it should be suspect)
- Check if the comments are turned off. (AI artists receive a lot of hate so they turn these off)
- Check the tags on their adopt (Both when for sale and after sale, some artists will only add "aiadopt" AFTER the sale is made.
- Check profile for any signs of "Ai Artist" (Do they have "AI" in their name? their profile?
- Check disclaimers/journals/tos (Some AI artists will tell you "you understand it's AI")
- Look for "Pity Party" context ( "Woe is me, I'm just a little guy trying to make beautiful adopts, please don't harass me, please just block me!")
- Check the price. Some will overprice, but most will charge $5 for a detailed ref sheet. If it was made by a real person they wouldn't be charging so little.
- If it is an older account, see if their older artworks match what their current style is and if it would be reasonable for their style to have changed so much.
- Do they have more social media rather than dA? Most artists have multiple accounts, but AI artists usually don't.
- "I used ai for inspiration and drew it myself" is a red flag, they almost never drew it themselves (and you can tell)
- "You don´t need to credit me" is another.
- Deleting adopts after they sold is strange, most artists will mark them as sold instead of deleting them.

Here's another seller of AI adoptables to add to the list https://www.deviantart.com/aiadoptsforyou
^ what @raccoonerror said
I am going to also butt in and point out that there's adopt sellers that do sell fairly cheap. Sure, it's not always high quality art or a ref sheet. But if you can't draw, there's relatively unknown artists out there that are struggling to sell their designs(I know this from experience). And I've personally gotten designs from beginner artists(Note: Not all beginners are children) that slap...their skill artwise just isn't up there yet.
Not to mention that there's plenty of bases and picrews/dollmakers out there, too.
Plus there's always people raffling off or giving away designs. And write to adopts.
Most people on this site don't even need to have a professional-looking ref sheet for their OCs because a lot of us have OCs purely as a hobby.
The less people buy AI adopts, hopefully the less they will sell them and potentially start making their own designs.
came across this adopt by user aleks_dok25 that seems to be ai-generated. https://toyhou.se/22695441.10
Im subscribed to this user, unsubbing after this but they're giving away free AI designs. Atleast they're not trying to profit, but still.
Ai designs: https://toyhou.se/Spiderberry/characters/folder:4640215
https://toyhou.se/~tickets/create/user/200855 and heres the report link
^^^
Lol, we had posted at the same time! The designs are being traded really fast, so here's a few screenshots for proof
Someone claiming it
Id hate to assume, please correct me if im wrong, but this user @oumachii approached me on my lf art thread, and some of their pieces feel a lot like ai.
https://toyhou.se/~forums/71.art-marketplace/404051.25-90usd-only-digital-anime-art-comms?page=1#post-6100537 here is one of their threads, the art on there is a lot more polished than anything in their normal art folder.
As well as this piece
Compaired to a similar furry piece with their seemingly normal style
Again, if im wrong, please correct me, but this feels off.
Blood-Orange - the art shown doesn’t show any characteristics of ai, they all look very similar. the examples shown look to be the same style, except ones more shaded and detailed while the other is a flat colored piece. i looked through their gallery and all of their pieces match with styles and don’t have any ai inconsistencies (ex. wonky eyes, hands, hair, etc)
