Non-issue because it's naturally zero friction to prove you are creating original art by posting works in progress.

It's so easy to prove originality that I'm more convinced the person is using AI.

He did offer to send the psd and process but the mod said that even if he did it wouldn't matter, because it looks so much like AI

Couldn't an AI generate pictures that look like work in progress?

Sure, but you can also record yourself working for example. A lot of people do it on twitch for example.

AI can't generate layers.

I've looked at the guys portfolio, his portfolio is filled with the same style, stable diffusion didn't exist back then.

Sure it can with some effort. One would need to work in reverse: start with the final work, then cut out the major subjects of the scene into layers, then use AI to infill where they had been and put that layer behind. Repeat.
