Ugh, if you want to rant the least you could do would be to write the post yourself instead of using AI to write it for you.
Hey sorry you're getting downvoted! I know jokes don't always translate well online and sometimes it can be hard to tell, but I didn't downvote you 🙂
Sorry for the downvotes, people need to lighten up and take a joke
But without the downvotes we wouldn't have gotten @solsangraal@lemmy.zip's comment, which made it funnier.
a swing...and a miss
I shouldn't have written that comment with AI.
I'm really sorry to hear that, and it's a shame for all of us to lose such fun art -- your work is so full of personality.
I hope the AI bubble bursts soon, but it's been very disappointing to see how many people don't value humanity in anything. I can understand peoples' paranoia, with so much worthwhile human art being chewed up, blended and blandly regurgitated by these robots.
Before I left Threads, I saw a lot of AI-generated images that got hundreds, even thousands of likes. I can definitely understand the paranoia which is why I post links to receipts including Paint Tool Sai files with dozens or hundreds of layers. Those files always take such a long time to upload to Internet Archive purely because of how big they are. As someone who has had her art stolen it's hurtful to be accused of using AI. Honestly I think now is a very precarious time for artists to be posting their work online and like you, I hope something changes!
I’m sorry. Somewhat related experience:
As a disabled person who is physically unable to do a lot of things. The advances in AI are pretty cool in that I can do stuff I never had the capacity for before.
But people seem to reflexively demonise anything to do with AI to the point I’m shamed out of even using it as an accessibility tool. It sucks. Sometimes feels like a sort of “moral panic” just like we had back when TV or the internet or dungeons and dragons got big.
I would ignore the people who are vehemently against AI and just do what makes you happy. Most of the time, they are just looking for a fight. I recently commented about how AI allows some disabled people to create art, but many people assume only able-bodied people are using AI. That was a mistake. I soon had some people recommending ways for me to make art without AI, and they would not work for my disability, of course. I had one person say if I'm able to type this comment, shouldn't I be able-bodied enough to make art? My favorite is when a person said look at this disabled person paint using their mouth and another disabled person with low vision that is legally blind both create art and put down any disabled people who need AI, because they don't need AI. Must be nice to live without the constant burden of a disability that prevents you from doing the things you enjoy. I've been shamed so many times for being disabled since I was a teen, disabled people do not need extra shaming.
No way, haven't you heard? There is NO moral use for AI /s
This is why I warn people constantly against AI artist witch-hunting. Actual artists such as yourself end up getting shafted by friendly fire incidents. It's a cycle of hate that only escalates.
I love your art, it's sleek, modern and you've got a really distinctive style. Accusations of AI get flung all over the place and honestly some people just wanna be nasty and use that allegation as an excuse. It's shitty and I'm sorry you're getting it in the nevk
Aw thank you Cheese! ❤️ I appreciate it a ton! One of my favourite artists ever stopped posting her new art for the same reason and it honestly sucks. I really wish people would be less nasty sometimes
I get that Elaine it's shitty and needless
as a fellow artist, fuck those guys. they don't deserve to see your posts, so write "go fuck yourself" in a few more words and block em. they don't give your art any consideration, so why should you give them any consideration back? if they can't take a break from having their heads up their asses to view your receipts, then maybe they don't deserve to view your posts in the first place.
please keep posting. i've been more liberal about my use of the block button recently and it's been a real liberating experience.
I've never seen your art before and went through your profile. Its amazing! I'm sorry you have to deal with this shit. Fun, goofy characters. Don't stop making them!
Who cares what others think if AI or not?
Well, they can be pretty annoying about it.
They can, however, if you let them get to you then they win.
A lot of "art" nowadays, especially modern, abstract art, does not look like it has a creativity level that exceeds an AI prompt. But I still believe in human creativity. It is just not in everyone claiming to be an artist.
This is a general statement, and not aimed at OP - I don't think I have seen OPs works.
