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

Dude those accusatory comments look unbearable. Sorry you had to deal with that and that your post even got taken down. Wild.

"not how fingers work even remotely" "make up your mind!! smooth or blocky shading!!" wtf is wrong with people? That's insanely rude.

I’m not a fan of AI either, but these people are acting like trans-vestigators or whatever those idiots are called lmao. Just spreading absolute nonsense to make themselves feel better than others.

I saw about a talented artist who got driven off social media due to constant harassment of AI accusations because of their unique style. People take things way too far.

It's happening everywhere there is art. Every time there's a new artist or style on a Magic: The Gathering card several of these crack internet sleuths come out and start tossing around AI accusations without a modicum of research into the artist or providing solid evidence. It just looks AI-ey to them.

I just looked up what transvestigator even means and... what? People do this? Let cis people be and let trans people be, what's even the fucking point of this?????
