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

[aldoart@mastodon.social]

@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.

@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

@davidrevoy "aI sLoP"

FUCK. THEM.

And #FUCKAI for making this possible.

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

@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

@arabine , c'est peut être toi l'IA ? Qui peut vraiment savoir ...

Je connaissais le travail de @davidrevoy avant que l'IA générative ne se démocratise, donc il doit être réel, même si je ne l'ai jamais rencontré physiquement.

Mais ça devient compliqué, le dicton "Il faut le voir pour le croire." ne marche vraiment plus.
