New blog-post: "When online commenters 'detect' my art as AI"

[juankprada@mstdn.jp]

@davidrevoy I kinda stopped sharing my art on Meta platforms. The communities there are even more toxic than in X in my opinion. Way more superficial and a lot more annoying

I stick to X because I have a solid base of clients from there but I would definitely like to focus only on Mastodon and the fediverse. (1/2)

@Juankprada Thank you!

[muhammadfreesoftware@fosstodon.org]

@davidrevoy I can't imagine how much that hurts...

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@mousey Amazing setup, I had no idea there were companies like that. Do they handle boosting things? like followers count? comments, engagement? in exchange of money? It looks like each operator control at least 50 devices.

@davidrevoy Mais quel monde de fous.

[mousey@mastodon.seattlematrix.org]

@davidrevoy I donno man.

What I do know, is it's nothing like unusual or new..

@to @arabine Hehe, "le vieux fusil", c'était cette année pour moi, après avoir emmener des amis visiter Bruniquel; l'installation vidéo dans le musée m'a rendu curieux.

Si tu me croise au marché le Samedi matin (je suis plutôt lève tard) hésite pas à faire un coucou!

@davidrevoy @arabine Ma copine habite à 5 minutes de Bruniquel, juste à côté du lac du Gouyre (si tu connais pas c’est top pour se balader), on y va souvent de promener Et j’ai refait la visite des châteaux avec mes parents (ils habitent en Belgique) pas plus tard que le mois dernier ^^ Je note pour le marché, par contre je suis timide et une bouse pour reconnaître les visages

@arabine @davidrevoy lol

@davidrevoy it looks like two of those comments (4th and last ones on the left column) were acknowledging that AI is stealing from you, not saying that you used AI.

@davidrevoy I'm a writer. The same thing happens to me but with words.
I'm at a point where I almost don't want to write anymore, let alone publish it. It has always been my passion and seriously helped me work through trauma. And now it's all but gone, at least the creative work. Not once in my life have I used generative AI and it still has a massive impact on me.

Marcus Olang' wrote a good piece about it.

@davidrevoy He consultat al meu nucli familiar, on tinc dos joves amb un olfacte especial per les IA.
El més jove: Massa ben fet per ser generat.
La recentment adulta: ...., be, aquesta ja no compta, que llegiem Pepper&Carrot de ben petita.
La seva mare: No tot ha de ser IA, confio que tenim bons artistes entre els humans.

@davidrevoy est-ce que tu crois que le fait que tes bd soient sous licence libre ça fait que les IA sont entraînées dessus en priorité ?

@davidrevoy

Bloody hell, what a nightmare.

Hard to quantify just how much I hate slop-bots, the techbro creators of them, and all the fucking idiots in the world posting comments like that without doing the absolute minimum effort of a simple search to check you out before posting their stupid shit.

[jankhambrams@mastoart.social]

@davidrevoy Your art rules and looks way better than any awful facsimile AI purports to create. Keep up the good work. You deserve so much better than this!

[lnklnx@social.lnklnx.com]

@davidrevoy You are 100% my favorite comic artist! I know it's hard, but don't let them discourage you, your base is out here.

P.S. To everyone else, this is a great time to throw some support David's way - see his profile for donation options.

@davidrevoy dans le tas, y en a un qui dit pas que c'est de l'IA, mais que c'est pas de l'art parce que c'est fait sur ordinateur et pas avec "des vrais matériaux"

[ghostonthehalfshell@masto.ai]

@davidrevoy

I think it’s funny as hell people can’t tell the difference.

There was a great exchange in the original aliens movie between Vazquez and one of the guys. She’s doing chin ups and the guy says “have you ever been mistaken for a man?

She replies, “ no. Have you?”

@arabine C'est une idée d'image à la fois hilarante et tragique, je ne vais pas mentir.

EDIT: AAAAHHHAHA he did it!
