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

[synlogic4242@social.vivaldi.net]

@davidrevoy this is part of why I am both enraged by and nauseated by this AI hype fad. because it ruins society like this

[damonwakes@mastodon.sdf.org]

@datarama @davidrevoy Same. It does have "that look" at a glance, but you can tell that there's actually a point to the details in each panel rather than it just being a "good-enough" response to some prompt.

@davidrevoy

They're all looking at technical details. Wrong approach. Human artists vary a lot in how
they depict fine details.

The way I can tell that your art isn't AI is how closely the mood of the characters matches the dialog. AI can't seem to really understand that people look at people, and isn't very good at subtle emotions displayed through facial expressions and body language.

Of course, in another year that could change ...

@davidrevoy All I see is a group of people who want to look smart but end up looking like fools ‍️

[skobkin@gts.skobk.in]

@davidrevoy Speaks a lot about "anti-AI" hysteria.
These people don't need art. They need an enemy to vent their frustration on.

If only we could simply appreciate art based on whether we like it, no matter who created it.

@davidrevoy, if not "1 mo" markers I would think that these people are having fun of the last comic.

[bjonte@oldbytes.space]

@davidrevoy This is so sad.

[chatnoirlibre@piaille.fr]

@davidrevoy Ils ont perdu l'habitude de voir du travail de qualité et pensent que, si c'est bien fait, c'est de l'IA. En plus, les images et les sorcières sont souvent assez belles, ce qui est aussi une caractéristique des IA.

@teotwaki @davidrevoy My first thought as well, they were probably complimenting and only referencing generated imagery in that these corporations stole their training data from people like you.

[datarama@hachyderm.io]

@DamonWakes @davidrevoy I don't really think it even has "that look" so bad. There's something about AI cartoon faces that (acknowledging survivorship bias of course) sets off my "I'm about to be mugged in the Uncanny Alley" instincts.

(and this is a bit odd to me, since I struggle a bit with actual human faces.)

@datarama @davidrevoy The whole "Avian Intelligence" thing actually gave me the impression (initially) that it was a really good effort to mimic it.

[theconstructor@social.tchncs.de]

@davidrevoy I guess people are no longer used to artists being good at creating digital art. It's lots of less polished stuff and lots of slop

[yuriel@kind.social]

@davidrevoy "aI sLoP"

FUCK. THEM.

And #FUCKAI for making this possible.

[blunt@mastodon.art]

@davidrevoy Sorry about that David, this must be very hard to read. Stay strong.

[sindarina@ngmx.com]

@davidrevoy Ahhh, the ignorance, it burns

[lonm@social.vivaldi.net]

@davidrevoy I appreciate the art that you paint, the effort you put in, and am very glad you are sharing them here

How rude, harsh, difficult and ungrateful
