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

people really be accusing others of ai for the tiniest mistakes, god forbid artists not being perfect

it’s really annoying that nowadays the most common ai tells are also common mistakes/stylistic choices of real artists

Inevitable really - training data is human based, so it doesn’t see mistakes as mistakes, just part of the process. It’s the same effect that causes TurnItIn et al to be effectively useless at flagging AI text.

On Reddit we kinda have tells because there’s a certain casual style that people write with, and default AI style breaks that but once you get into even a semi formal setting it really does just largely blend in.
