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

@davidrevoy Ça me brise le cœur.

Si jamais c'est important, le second avatar sur https://www.davidrevoy.com/data/images/blog/2026/2026-08-05_AI-comments/2026-08-05_AI-Accusation-comments_50.jpg n'est pas flouté.

@davidrevoy It's disheartening to see this

[clifor@neopaquita.es]

@davidrevoy That's so sad.

@davidrevoy

It's also unfortunate, because they could just scroll your website / timeline and see that your style has developed! The early comics are not the same as the newest ones! There's learning, refinement, growth, it's organic.

But when everything is consumed in random snapshots served by an algorithm, most of the audience doesn't see artists' trajectories, and most horrifyingly, seem to forget that such a thing exists. All media exists in an endless state of "right now".

@davidrevoy They're so bot-like either. Or they're just themselves bot training material. It's the self eating snake like always.

By the way, your art is so damn cool. If I could I take their throwing peebles to start a pedestal to your art.

[takiro@meow.social]

@davidrevoy This would make me so sad, if I were in your position.

@davidrevoy : 🫂 ce doit être fatiguant d'avoir une telle masse de commentaires sous-entendant ou affirmant que tu utilises l'IA pour tes comics

[gee@framapiaf.org]

@deuchnord @arabine @davidrevoy tout le monde sait que j'ai moi-même tout piqué à Gotlib, l'intégration de Newton et de sa pomme ne me surprendrait donc pas

[pkoopmanpk@mastodon.nl]

@davidrevoy That must be so frustrating. Hard work degraded to slop.

[kazord@mamot.fr]

@davidrevoy @jeeynet quand les plateformes estime qu'ils ont 40% de bot

Faut bien des IA pour les faire tourner

Une qu'un bot a mis un message IA slop, les humains vont juste douter

Et ça montre bien a quel point l IA a atteint ces réseaux et donc des utilisateurs vont prendre tout images comme IA slop first

[ko@gotosocial.art]

@davidrevoy on another side, facebook/reddit et al. users aren't the most intelligent people to the point one wonders how did they not die in their childhood from some stupid accident

would you take genuine advice from a bumbling idiot? no

then stop treating a bunch of morons as an authority. they probably clap at actual fucking slop on their feeds

[arabine@piaille.fr]

@davidrevoy @tristen et voilà j'avais raison !!

[pkoopmanpk@mastodon.nl]

@davidrevoy And I agree with other commenters. You should ignore them. I really like your art style and sense of humor. Changing it because of some 'sh*tty' comments would be a shame. You should only change it because you found a new/better way to express yourself.

@feff @davidrevoy

I think this must be a 'user' thing, people assume you use Facebook, or other big tech social media, we can tell this as there is very little option to 'share on fediverse' for example.

Another example is the media talk about people who are apparently super famous usually either influencers or reality TV stars that no one out side of those circles of influence have even heard of.

[wuzzy@cyberplace.social]

@davidrevoy I feel so sorry for you. When artists now have to post a TIMELAPSE just to prove they did NOT post AI slop, something is very very broken.

HOT TAKE: The burden of proof lies on the accuser, not the artist. If you cannot prove something is #AI #slop, STFU!

#art

@davidrevoy Would AI detect cubist Picasso as AI?

[nooe@framapiaf.org]

@davidrevoy Est-ce que c'est parce que les gens sur ces plateforme sont beaucoup plus confronté à des images IA? Sur le fediverse j'en vois très rarement et je me ne suis jamais dis que ton art ressemblait à de l'IAgen (mais je le connais depuis longtemps aussi).

Je partage souvent tes œuvres et j'ai un très beau fond d'écran avec une course de dragon, j'ai souvent des réactions pour me demander quel artiste a fait ça (et que c'est très beau) et personne ne m'a dit que c'est de l'IA.

[petelittle@autistics.life]

@gaditb @davidrevoy I'm not a professional writer , just a very amateur blogger but I wrote this after someone commented on how "AI Generated" my blog was..

... despite me never actually using AI.

Even taking the personal views aside, after checking through some online AI detectors (AI's themselves mostly! Oh the irony!) I still scored high on the AI Gen score.

This was a slightly tongue in cheek response to that. But as stated above I'm in the unfortunate position where my normal writing voice sounds like something ChatGPT would spew out

@davidrevoy, shit, I really hope you can find a way to not get discouraged by these smartasses from drawing further.

[peejmaybe@mastodon.art]

@davidrevoy This is my biggest fear with high quality digital art (which, inevitably, ends up as source material for AI mostly due to the unscrupulous ways that stuff is scraped). I know a lot of folk whose workflows switched to entirely digital WAY before all of this nonsense kicked off who are getting exactly the same, and it's particularly insulting when you MAKE A POINT OF POSTING YOUR PROCESS VIDEOS REGULARLY! Which says more about these commenters' complete lack of engagement
