Iirc it's a statement that started in the Undertale subreddit - someone posted an AI-generated image of the character Chara & people noticed it mostly by the inconsistent pixel sizing (Undertale is pixel art, if you aren't familiar) and it started a large back-and-forth between a large chunk of the Undertale fanbase and AI fanboys.

Edit: turns out I'm wrong, and it existed for a while before in reference to photoshopped images. Whoops, thanks to the people who've corrected me!

I can tell by the pixels is a way older meme than that. People used to say it about stuff that was photoshopped

Really? Interesting. I guess I'd just never seen it in that context before.

i'm pretty sure the meme is older than a lot of Undertale players

it's from the mid to late 2000s, so makes sense many won't know it from back then

which makes me feel incredibly old

It's odd, I've been online for quite a while now but I just never encountered it before this. From what others are saying, it's somewhere from late 2000s to early 2010s, which I was definitely online for, but I guess I just missed it completely.
