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

@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?

[elfi@social.pixie.town]

@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.

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

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

[maloki@rage.love]

@davidrevoy at least one, or some, of the comments recognised your art as the source?

[mudlark@bark.lgbt]

@davidrevoy I’m sorry you’re getting these comments. Your art is so full of heart I’ve never really thought to compare it to aigen. I don’t see how people see any similarities to be honest.

I love your art, the way you draw fantasy worlds and characters is a big inspiration to me. And it’s so cool to see that you do it all with Krita, it makes me want to give it a go and finally make that switch.

@davidrevoy It's a little your fault, your powered robots when it's forbidden .. 🤪

I very like this drawing. 🤩

@davidrevoy Bleak, actually.

[davidrevoy@framapiaf.org]

@faoluin Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. Thank you. But on bad evenings, you know... It's tempting to allow some of my self-destructive thoughts to be confirmed by these, and reading them all became hypnotising. I'll try to develop a thicker skin. Maybe that's just the negative side of attracting a larger audience for my work.

@davidrevoy @gaditb
It's happening to lots of writers. Some forums are nothing but people claiming they put writing through an "AI detector" and the writing is obviously AI. It's soul-crushing, as you well know.

The other major group of people getting hit by this, ironically, are computer programmers. People who actually know how to code are being told their code is AI generated even when it's absolutely obvious it's not.

Anyone who creates is damaged by AI - even if they don't use it.

[cosmix@mastodon.art]

@davidrevoy gods that's rough. Putting all that work and time and love and effort into a thing to just get clocked by the copycat that your the copycat. Its honestly disgusting. And not sure if this is intentional brainwashing.

[farlukar@mas.to]

@davidrevoy If I had to guess, those are all “it looks like the ai art I've been prompting myself”

[nyandzette@piaille.fr]

@davidrevoy J'espère que tu reçois aussi des tonnes de messages positifs qui apprécient tes dessins à leur juste valeur.
Je saurais même plus dire depuis combien de temps je te suis ! Je me souvient qu'il y a plus de 10(?) ans, je m'étais mise à Krita parce que c'est ce que tu utilisais et j'avais avidement téléchargé plein de ressources que tu proposais ! Que ce soit tes dessins eux-même ou tes outils de création, tout est associé à mes débuts avec ma première tablette graphique dans mes souvenirs... et encore maintenant

[em0nm4stodon@infosec.exchange]

@davidrevoy @gabrielesvelto As a fellow artist who stopped practicing professionally a few years before this AI shitstorm hit the field, I'm so sorry. This is horrifying.

Artists have always been incredibly undervalued by modern society, but this is a new low. I weep for all my artist friends, and for all the damage this exploitative technology is doing to our world.

@feff Thank you Feff.
