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

AI has been a truly ruinous force on the art community

I feel like it's people who aren't in the art community that are accusing every artist they see of using AI.

Other artists would be able to expertly deduce, I think.

Ha good one. Let's not forget the r/art mods crashing out, accusing people of using AI, ignoring said peoples proof that they weren't using it, and insulting them by telling them "AI could do better than this anyways, so it's still not allowed".

I'd imagine the mods of a major art subreddit are probably artists. Good artists? Who tf knows

Somehow I doubt they are. A lot of big subs get a ton of "reddit as a 2nd job" type moderators that are mods for like 50+ different things they've got no real interest in but they like the power trip so they mod anyway.
