You can actually do a lot of low-risk leveling up of the relationship just by using a bot to have your character run around stabbing rats all day.

Tips for people trying to figure out if picture are AI : use a reverse image search engine.
Tineye is pretty good and will give you the older iteration of an image it can find (sometime the very source), croppings, good old PSD montages, etc.
It's a good base to start your little investigation.

I used to use detectors before realizing they are also basically LLMs and hallucinate answers just like any other LLM
Just because I keep seeing those "I checked this piece and it's written by AI" - this is an old article of mine, before AI was available. So could we not?

The Trump years were dark. But in little NZ they never lost hope. For NZ had a leader of rare and inspiring character.
In the face of endless climate disaster and economic implosion, he always had just the right uplifting words:
"Welcome to IKEA"
"Welcome to State of Origin"
"Check out my Spotify"

Microwave for two minutes to reheat it, then another two minutes in the air fryer to crisp it up a little. And deliciousness ensues. #Food
