This is AI-assisted at the very least, 6 fingers, weird hands, wrists and elbow, inconsistent shading
guessing a handful of their last works are as well, big difference from recent stuff and their more defined style 4 months ago

This is AI.
The eyes look messed up, the packages perspective and outlining is messed up, the fingers, wrists and left arm are AI-like anatomically incorrect, the pattern on the underwear is blurry inconsistent and non-symmetrical, random glove, half the pillow is missing...

When your fav artist needs an easy way to jump on the BA bandwagon :,).

But on a more serious note, how confident are we this is ai-generated and not just assisted?

I would put a lot of money on it, that's how sure lol
it's really as easy as looking at his works from only 1+ month ago, old style looks completely different and was abandoned overnight

The extra index finger could just be the artist lazily making the finger point upwards. I'm not too sure.

Houraku's works from around mid-2022 to early 2024 has, at least, some serious signs of AI use. Since middle of 2024 though the artist might have scaled back the use of AI, though not clearly, with increasing consistency and adopted new artstyle. This might explain why the artist has deleted most, but not all of their works from this period as they don't want to be seen as an AI artist.

Though I am a little bit suspicious on how much they have scaled back use of the AI. There is some level of inconsistency between the post #9002621 and post #9002618 on Kisaki's outfit, and the inhuman Kisaki's thighs on the first post.
