Some people say it naturally looks uncanny for them, but it doesn't happen to me, I can't really spot them... One trick to try is counting the fingers, but what else can I do?

    Small details in the background tend to get more garbled than stuff in the foreground. A human artist would get vague, an AI will try to draw four different versions of the same thing in the same physical space.

    The biggest tell is just "would a human draw this" though. Weird composition, people just kind of posing vaguely and staring off into the middle distance for no reason, uniform level of detail regardless of how important that part of the image is.

      uniform level of detail regardless of how important that part of the image is.

      That's a good tip right there. I think I can notice AI slop pretty often, but I can't always put my finger on why. I think this may be it.

        Ooh true. Conservation of detail is a hard and inescapable factor in art. You have to make decisions about where you focus your time. Once you hit your thirties detail begins to very literally cost pain and you have to weigh the effort you're putting in against what it will cost you in pain in your hands. Most artists don't waste detail where it isn't needed.
