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

[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.

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

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

@to @arabine On ne devrait jamais quitter Montauban

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

@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
.

@davidrevoy I appreciate what you do, please take care of yourself

@davidrevoy @arabine Ça ne fait « que » 10 ans que j’y vis, mais je supporte Sapiac dans la défaite, j’ai regardé Le vieux fusil la semaine dernière et je dis poche, malle et chocolatine tel un natif du coin 🥹

[juankprada@mstdn.jp]

Also, for what is worth, allow me to say that your art has inspired me a lot both to improve mine as well as to embrace a similar path as yours in open source.

Please don’t get discouraged by those comments and keep rocking! One of the best things of Wednesdays for me is to find a new comic of yours being published (2/2)

@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)

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@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.

[niwlcraft@mastodon.art]

@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..

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@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!

[to@fosstodon.org]

@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
