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

[jah@toot.community]

@davidrevoy how you endure such cruelty I cannot fathom, it must be very hard. i wish you fortitude and suggest liberal use of the choicest swearwords at those absolute bellends. btw that's a really important document you created, bravo!

@arabine @davidrevoy fais gaffe, y’a un monde où @gee te pique l’idée pour sa série « La Chaîne Météore » x)

@davidrevoy This must be terribly frustrating for you

[wizzwizz4@fosstodon.org]

@davidrevoy @ToonLink This, too, will pass. Internet commenters have always been Like This; it is wise not to heed them so much.

I'm a fairly prolific internet commenter, but many of these people spend entirely too much time writing posts online, and not enough trying to understand the world. Their opinions are superficial, and widely disseminated.

When they make specific criticisms, saying this or that feature "looks AI", that's most likely a post-hoc rationalisation of their gut instincts.

@davidrevoy I’m actually kinda stunned that nobody has thrown that one at me yet

@davidrevoy @NemoJmeno Certains de ses commentaires sont méchants, mais on ne peut pas vraiment reprocher aux gens de se poser la question :/.

[thedaemon@snac.9front.club]

At least a few people have figured out that AI was trained on your art. Keep doing you, if you change AI will just steal your new art style.

@davidrevoy @arabine Et c’est là que je découvre qu’on est voisins

@davidrevoy Wow, those comments are exhausting to read.

[pypebros@mastodon.social]

@davidrevoy they are rude. You deserve better than them.

[toonlink@fandom.ink]

@davidrevoy Obviously I'm not going to make demands. And I will support you in any decisions you make. I like your art because it comes from you, not because it looks a certain way (and definitely take some time off!)

But I think it's more important to live authentically, than to worry about if other people think you're "doing it right". I know that's different when you're worried about a career, but industry peeps have a different perspective from randos who might just want to shitstir.

@davidrevoy Kind of makes me wonder if they are bots or something. The one with the emoji I wonder if they are trying to be sarcastic. Not well done though IMO.

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@ToonLink Thank you for your wise word; Yes, 'authentic' will be my compass, this one resonates strongly.

[rainbowpink@snug.moe]

@davidrevoy it's almost like AI was trained on art by real people or something!!!

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@to @arabine On ne devrait jamais quitter Montauban

[toonlink@fandom.ink]

@davidrevoy You're welcome. Good luck, mang! I definitely sympathize with your struggles, here. I'm eager to watch your journey continue.

[roofuskit@mstdn.social]

@davidrevoy the "nothing is real" crowd is the worst. I have been working with my teenage daughter on this. She's very quick to say something feels like AI without any evidence. We've had several conversations about how dangerous that is in multiple ways.

@davidrevoy The highest irony is, these are those Facebook and Instagram responses
