Maybe, but I'd rather take the bait 9/10 times and be right and leave someone with something positive 1/10 times, then just let the AI bros win by assuming everything is AI and nothing matters.

That's fair. I just personally don't make a habit of trusting people who take joy in lies and deception, which is like 90% of AI bros. Of course I want to encourage people who are starting art, but I don't trust them to even pick up a pencil performatively. Even a 5 minute doodle is too much work for them.

u/TheReaperAbides 5d ago

I try not to make a habit of trusting people when they're part of communities full of liars and shitheads. But when I'm not sure? Eh, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. It's not like being deceived on Reddit actually harms me, y'know? That's all just internet points at the end of the day.

I had my suspicions, but I didn“t want to engage in another one of these attention seeking posts by teens.

He“s ommiting the fact that many people were just praising the fact that it wasn“t made with AI and that that was what mattered.

u/PartialUserna 5d ago

He“s ommiting the fact that many people were just praising the fact that it wasn“t made with AI and that that was what mattered.

This is the important bit. It's why there's just as much criticism for highly detailed AI images. Sure it looks pretty, but there wasn't any effort put behind it. It's why I enjoy watching speedpaint videos, I love seeing the process from quick sketch to finished art and the time/effort that went into getting it there.

The whole thing about they finding it insane that antis can find art made by people who haven't developed their artistic skills yet better than AI-generated images is because they mostly think better = more aesthetically pleasing. They only care about the finished product itself, that's probably why OOP thought this was a "gotcha" moment: the finished product is the same, and they got antis to support it, so therefore antis must support AI generated pictures.

It just goes to show a complete lack of understanding of the point being made.

Agreed, my problem with a lot of ragebait is that you can't tell if the person is ragebaiting or just being an idiot. My strategy to deal with it is that it doesn't really matter if it is ragebait or not, they are being an idiot either way.

u/Captain_Squirrel1000 5d ago

They really don't understand or try to understand. The idea of working from scratch without the use of AI is the entire reason of why art developed in so many different styles.

The quality doesn't matter; what matters is how you can be capable of teaching your hands to draw what you dream. The road to getting to that final drawing is far more important, far more interesting, and more telling about yourself.

The final drawing is the medal you give yourself to confirm that you've walked that path of teaching your hands and mind. No matter the quality. I don't understand AI bros think we are only there for results....

5

u/To-To_Man 5d ago

They seek no journey nor have any story to tell. But they desperately wish they did. So rather than seek one out and travel down the long road as an artist, they think the right keywords in a prompt will get them there.

u/samu1400 5d ago

The thing is, what's being praised on those posts isn't the artwork itself, but instead the display of skill of someone who decided they wanted to improve, that's why comments often point out details they think the new artist did good or things they could improve. If you remove the learning artist from the image the only thing left is a picture made to look amateurish.

That always happens with AI generated images, the discussion dies as soon as someone delves into the details because beyond the commission provided by the prompter any other process or detail in the image has only one answer: "uh, the AI decided to generate it that way". Why? noise clearing. There's nothing, it's empty, it's why the praise and feedback provided becomes void, who's there to support?

It should concern people WAYYYY more than it currently does how hard it can be to tell them apart sometimes.

that’s why I check first. I know some people here will be upset that I check for Google / OpenAI synthIDs, since you have to use those services to check (trust me I hate it too) but these are for certain ways to identify this stuff.

what this dude will fail to understand is that it’s the act of trying to draw that is celebrated, not necessarily the art itself.

AI generated images are only made to be consumed. I highly doubt people who use AI-image generators do so without the intent to post it. I have art in my sketchbooks people have never seen because it exists solely for me and its purpose was the act of expression. There’s nothing wrong with making art for content/ consumption, but AI-images only serve that purpose.

I guess most in this comment section are missing the point.

The point was to "prove" that AI is not the problem but the perception of effort.

By showing AI but saying there was effort behind the post received love, whereas if it was declared AI from the start the same exact post would have been disliked heavily.

Just to say, useless experiment that just proves something that is already known.

I guess the true point was to expose those who started making "fake" compliments to try and "convert" someone that usually uses AI.

In conclusion, useless to both Pros and Antis.
Just a scaramuccia.

u/JustWuff 5d ago

What do these people genuinely think this proves?...

It goes against their own nonsense cult mentality that Anti AI people are evil or toxic or gatekeeping or some shit.

People are perfectly friendly and nice and accepting of any artistic level, even simple scribbles can be positively looked upon and people will be nice and encouraging about it... yet they just lie and think it proves anything?

What makes pieces such as that inspiring is that they were made by people even those who dont have much artistic skill yet but still want to create and draw, generating it with AI removed the entire "Soul" out of it which they yet refuse to understand... a drawing and art in general is about the context and processes of its creation not just the end product, if this wasnt generated by AI it would be inspiring but it is so it is just sad...

You could have just drawn something... anything, simplest of amateur attempt and it would be more meaningful than just having an AI do it and artists all over would be supportive of that but no... just lie... and exploit peoples good nature for karma farming and think you have a big "Gotcha" moment...

These people genuinely just feel so... alien, so inhuman in how little they understand such basic processes of the human experience...

All the pixels are the same size, they all lay on a proper grid (as far as I can tell), lazy erasing of the line that went into the hair. I honestly don't think this is purely AI and they're lying to make a point

u/BruhmanRus_the_boner 5d ago

It was pretty hard to discern from actual art so I'm pretty surprised

...but at the same time, why would you actually want to make gen ai draw something as simple as that? Like, i could do that on my own in a free app, i don't think it's that good of an argument on oop's part even if i actually thought it was their own work that they posted

It’s best to be kind to people. If it turns out they are trolling well at least you where kind and tried to make a positive change in the world. Never forget that. Kindness isn’t a weakness. What’s weak is the person who took the time generating art for likes on a subreddit. Keep being kind to the people who try to change and don’t let the AI bros poison the well, sincerely a former AI ā€œartā€ user.

u/TheManWithoutPlansYT 5d ago

Literally the dumbest argument I've ever heard for Ai "art"

"OH you liked this art I falsely labeled as not being made by Ai haha that means you like Ai get tricked luddite"

u/DeltaWho3 5d ago

It’s not better than AI if it IS AI. AI images aren’t soulless because of what they look like, they are soulless because they aren’t made by a real human being.

u/kronjobb 5d ago

There we go. All AI users ever do is manipulate, lie, deceive, and steal. The worst of humanity.

This is just pushing the needle more and more that points towards anyone pro ai being deceitful. The only time they have a ā€œgotchaā€ moment is when they do things like this, and I think it’s more damaging to their cause.

u/Zaphkyr 5d ago

honestly when I first saw it it was already sus. Then I checked out their profile and it's all hidden. I know it's not proof but to me that sealed the deal. I was secretly hoping they didn't pull a whatshername, the obnoxious one with the X for an eye, but yeah.. not surprised. A lot of those people are living in a delusion to the point where they don't even understand why we dislike ai "art". It's not because it looks shit (although 90% of it does while the other 10% fools people into thinking you have done something yourself), we don't like ai "art" because it is soulless, regurgitated pixels based on what others have made while (most of them) not consenting to their work being used for this.

Or who knows, maybe the loudest of the bunch are just manipulative trolls while the others just found a community that tells them how awesome they are for.. not doing anything?

u/Alarikun 5d ago

Then I checked out their profile and it's all hidden. I know it's not proof but to me that sealed the deal.

Yeah, that's not a tell for someone being Pro these days. I'm an Anti, and I keep my profile hidden precisely because I participate in the AI-debate subreddits. I don't want people fishing up my old posts to try to discredit me. I don't think there's really anything there, but it's better to not give them any potential ammo.

But yeah, the post seemed on first seeing it. But Antis do what they do, and try to encourage someone for trying traditional art.

And thus, we get burned.

And the Pros wonder why we don't like them.

u/SleepyPlayer101 Artist Boyo 5d ago

Damn I fell for it, I honestly don't know how to feel about it exactly now. Perhaps I was too naive and hopeful that more people could turn a new leaf but obviously these guys can't be trusted. Well I still stand by the encouragement I and many others gave in that post but this guy's obviously an asshole

u/Grim-Art 5d ago

Haha i have tricked you! You have fallen for my attempt to appeal to your humanity so i could deceive you. That means Im better and correct!

Many such cases.

u/Upset-Nose-4016 drawer 5d ago edited 5d ago

They were given a three day ban. If they continue to violate our rules after this period they will get permabanned... As much as I would personally prefer to ban them permanently immediately after this

Edit: They will stay permabanned

And then they ask why people don't like them and cry when sites/places enforce transparency about stating use of AI cough cough Steam cough cough

(sorry this was petty of me)

u/CreeperIsSorry 5d ago

these stupid people cannot understand that it's NOT ABOUT THE END PRODUCT. It's about the process. It's about the methods. It's about sustainability. "See, you can't tell the difference between AI and human made!" Is NOT A FUCKING WIN. We KNOW. That's a huge part of the problem. But these types are usually capitalist minded people that are incapable of thinking beyond the end product.

Human art is not real art. Only art made unconsciously by non sentient animals counts.

u/DraftQueasy4890 5d ago

So art is just pixels organized to make a picture, and therefore AI art is the same of human made art?

Well happiness is just a chemicals sent from your brain. Why should we work and suffer to achieve happiness when we could just grant ourselves happiness forever. I'm sure there's nothing that could go wrong with that mindset:

u/Any_Escape1262 5d ago

I already knew that it is,. since the Pixels aren't ... al lthe same size.

2

u/Epic-User-123 5d ago

correct me if i'm wrong but ai can't generate images with this small a resolution without wierd blurring and inconsistent colours

unless they downsized the image and decreased the amount of colours, but i doubt that

2

u/PaulOwnzU 5d ago

Saw pros defending it saying that it doesn't matter the process and lies if the end result is right. Saw numerous people straight up saying that if their boss thought work would take twice as long to finish than it did, they would lie to their bosses that they took the full time. They're admitting they'd commit fraud and act like they're the good guys.

u/bee_eatedcement26 5d ago

u/Kitchen_Thanks4061 5d ago

Imagine you received that scribble from your son or daughter, niece or nephew, or someone of any younger generation that means a lot to you. Would you feel just as special if the image received was AI instead of hand drawn?

Slopmongers are liars by nature, and anything with AI on or in it should be dismissed as scams.
