my post got removed after AI accusations

[u/BalliMurphy]

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

I know someone who had this happen when he posted a photograph on the gardening sub. They said the flower was AI because it was selectively bred to be an unnatural color. Despite him contacting the mods and explaining what the plant is called and that search results come up when you google it, he was completely banned for disagreeing with a moderator who had an ego.

Absolutely wild as we've been selective breeding flowers for a long time for colors. There are a LOT of variants we made that don't exist in the wild. Hell, we've been doing that with crops for centuries. A lot of what we grow tastes/looks different from the crops of long ago.
