Thanks for the support! Funny thing I wanted to plug here: I've never received comments like that here on the Fediverse " title=""/> , but I get dozens of them, weekly, on the Meta platforms (Facebook/Instagram)...

I'm really grateful for how this community checks artists' work and actually verifies it's real human art before throwing random accusations.

This is my favorite place to share for a reason. 💜

Ah, yes, one of the most frustraing consequences of this inflation of genAI bubble is how people are giving in to a tendency that anything slightly competent can only have been made by a computer

People are getting a bit too complacent about being stupid as hell

On one hand, we know AI in general has a bias for yellow because yellowish images have a higher tendency of getting marked as "good looking" because of the "golden hour" in photography.

On the other, true, while AI hurts artists, due to that, even more for those who like yellow tones!

I love it so much! A lot of real human #artists and #creatives will find themselves in it.

But their is always souls in your work !

The issue with other platform is that people expect ai stuff, they want to see ai stuff and it must look like ai. When they say "it's ai, right" it's not because they don't value your work but because they want to know that they can make a prompt and do the same.

I could be completely wrong, but why stay on such places if they don't want ai crap ?

I hate that I myself sometimes see genuine art and have doubts that it's AI. I guess it makes me pay more attention to the artist behind the art I see which is good.

Now that "looking like good art" is something that AI can do, paying attention to what it's conveying and who's making it is more important than ever.

I'll take community over mindless consumption everytime

exactly the reason i despise all those youtube videos and such on how to "identify" AI art, every bloody time they just end up driving actual artists off the internet, while the slopsters don't give a damn about their callout posts

same with the em—dash

C'est sur aussi si tu ne met pas un certificat d'authenticité sans IA comment tu veux qu'on sache 😁

David releases his comic under a free license, people start creating derivative works: "Great!"

Not-so-people-like algorithms start creating derivatives, strip the attribution, and now the public thinks David is aping the AI that trained on his work first: "No, NOT like that!"

This is a beautiful human made comic strip.

I actually like the painting, too.

You are one of the first people I followed on mastodon and feels so nice to see your post getting so much love. I have no idea what it can be like doing what you do in these times. All I can do is join here and share this from behind a smile, a feeling of empathy to a "stranger" I have a feeling I know and tell you that I look forward to your posts. Especially now after this one.

Cheers

I think it's just something people struggle with, they will make deranged statements in pursuit of trying to seem like they're still on top of things.

I know it's easy to say, but don't take it personally, I've always been a fan of both your art and your open source tooling/process.

This stuff is one reason I'm really happy the EU is requiring AI involvement to be labeled as such; it works both ways, and hopefully other countries/areas will follow, so we can put an end to this.

Perhaps she should take up mixed media.

With knives.

Dead on.

I still have to wait this happen to me.

Just this weekend I was at a show and thought some hand-painted bird pictures were AI, like maybe she used AI references. The beaks were just wrong.

Still don't know if I was right or if I just mistook her style, and I hate that.

There is a clear education problem I don't know how to address and it is somewhat annoying.

The same happens with writing communities. "Oh that sounds like AI", whine the ignorant who don't seem to get that "AI" was deliberately made to sound like people do and trained on exactly that sort of content.

"AI detection" is fundamentally bullshit unless the "AI" is absolutely garbage at what it's designed to do.

Those false accusations are quite demoralizing to artists.

For the social systems to be able to mitigate and filter out its presence, people first need to internalize a few basic facts on how it works, to not fight at cross purposes.

That painting is quite nice.

@David Revoy Not that I would compare myself to an artist, but in a similar fashion I have already been told that my prose (mostly technical prose—again, not an artist!) must have been AI-generated due to my propensity to use em dashes…

Damn it, I—and countless other writers—have been using em dashes long before those stochastic parrots came into being!

…and after the house destruction incident, I thought that parrot had been banished to the bin forever.

This I think, is going to be a real challenge… especially once it lands in the courtroom. Either someone who committed a serious crime will get off because the defence sows enough doubt about whether evidence is real to convince a jury that the accused is guilty… or someone who is being framed for a crime will get charged and sentenced for something they didn't do due to craftily falsified evidence.
