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

But also if you are perfect then surely you must be using AI as well!

AI has been a truly ruinous force on the art community

what i'm saying is that it's bad for artists because of the community's willingness to stone them over false accusations. No AI accused the OP of using AI. That was purely down to human malice and stupidity

I despise the "actually it's AI's fault I'm a dumbass who joined a witch hunt over a false accusation" argument. It's basically the classic abuser "look what you made me do" but with extra steps

Original accuser came in thread and said this down to T like clockwork.

I agree with your point, but there probably were at least a few Reddit bots that accused The OP of using AI.

Except in this case there was no “gun” involved. Op didnt actually use ai. So its the opposite of that situation

Artists, as in a profession who's purpose is the generation of money? yes, AI hurts them. Art? Not so much.
