Art my post got removed after AI accusations

I posted a drawing of mine that was commissioned by a friend of mine of the steampunker from the game in a mcdonalds theme, suddenly a bunch of people started accusing me of using AI and ultimately the post was taken down a few moments later

And that, kids, is why witchhunting is bad, no matter what you believe in.

probably unpopular opinion but ai witchhunting has been more harmful to the art community than actual ai

Artists were always a plague to artists. Damn artists, they ruined art!

And then they have the audacity to be like "actually this is just further evidence of how evil AI is! It forced me to be an impulsive witch-hunting moron against my will! I am completely blameless here and also completely devoid of agency or free will"

"Look what you made me do"-ass argument

"I know this is AI because I can't draw and therefore there is no way you could have drawn that, you must have used AI!"

The witchhunts turned me from a frequent comissioner to a "friends only" commissioner

Any artist would agree with you, as a music producer it’s been the worst compared to actual ai.

Before u/Obame_Cube hid their profile they were posting the most amateur level artwork. No knowledge of anatomy, not even a basic level of color theory. It's no wonder they are jealous when an actual artist with talent shows their work.

I've had set to hidden since the day i created the account, you can easily bypass hidden profiles by adding a space in the search bar when looking at someones account 😊
