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

[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.

@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)

@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..

@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

@arabine @davidrevoy lol

[muffins@kinkycats.org]

@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.

[thisislieven@c.im]

@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.

[pikario@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@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 ?

[imalcolm@mastodon.social]

@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.
