""I was on the fence but I actually think that it is [AI]," one fan on Reddit wrote. "The seat separations are weird and inconsistent (where the lower cushions are separated) and the line between Pennywise's ring and pinkie fingers is QUITE long. The popcorn to the far left is defying gravity and the lid to the drink cup is doing some möbius strip work. Her shoe buckle placements don't make sense either. His socks match his pants and he lacks fingernails," they explain."
"While there are undoubtedly ways to use AI properly, there's still a stigma in the creative sphere surrounding the technology, with many viewing it as a corner-cutting shortcut. With AI getting increasingly refined, the new Welcome to Derry AI poster conspiracy is just one of many cases we've seen recently, proving that it's getting harder to distinguish human-made art. The posters in question feature typical '50s style illustrations of all-American families indulging in fun with a creepy twist."
"From the typography to the art style, the designs are evocative of retro poster design, but the finer details of the artwork raised alarm bells for some. From warped hands to reality-defying discrepancies, fans dissected the artwork but couldn't reach a conclusion. Many argued that human art is naturally imperfect, while others claimed the issues were the work of AI."
Retro-style promotional posters for IT: Welcome to Derry sparked debate over whether the images were AI-generated or human-made. The designs emulate 1950s illustrations but contain oddities such as warped hands, inconsistent seat separations, gravity-defying popcorn, and misplaced shoe buckles that prompted fans to scrutinize authenticity. Some viewers pointed to AI artifacts while others defended human imperfection. Social comments ranged from skepticism about designer pay to outright claims of machine generation. The reaction reflects broader mistrust of AI in creative fields and increasing difficulty in distinguishing machine-produced imagery as generative tools improve.
