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

[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.

@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.

@davidrevoy that’s so damn annoying.

I deeply enjoy your art and your fans know.

Thank you for your awesome art!

@arabine ou un chien. "Sur l'Internet, personne ne sait que vous êtes un chien". Un chien génial!

@davidrevoy I just hope this is NOT your Fediverse Bubble?

@davidrevoy At least there's a scant few recognizing you're the OG, but god, nobody needs to be reminded that they're being aped by that soulsucking shit

[raven@fedi.raventhemaker.com]

@davidrevoy These comments hurt my soul. And not just the "this is AI" but how they must go over the images with a magnifier looking for the tiniest details to criticize. When it doesn't match their expectation of "good art" then it must be AI.

@gaditb Very interesting to read writers also affected. Thank you for sharing.
