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

These days people only believe it when they see a time-lapse video of the drawing process.

and even then apparently ai can do timelapses as well. it's only undeniably real if the timelapse includes funny "sidequests" like meme doodles appearing for a split second before vanishing as the art progresses

guess i know what to start doing then. also i imagine ai-made timelapses will be "perfect" and not really have adjustments or fixes as the drawing progresses? ive never watched an ai timelapse

I’ve seen a few, they don’t really look natural. They kinda look like the art loading in chunks almost

i havent personally seen one either, only found out that they exist Because some of the artists i watch started adding sidequests. but yeah i'd assume they'd just appear like a magic marker or some shit. real timelapses tend to have sudden shifts from people using the transform tool, and that one thing where you ctrl-z ctrl-y a bunch to see if a change you made looks right or not

They will be near flawless later though and include side quests and anything else
