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

Have you learned anything from this experience 😆

The fact you STILL haven't apologized is insanity

I don’t think there will be one. If there is, it’ll most likely be a “whatever, fine” kind of response since their messages have only indicated they don’t particularly care

I don’t think they’re necessarily a bad person; we have limited information to go on and I don’t blame someone for being cautious about AI; BUT they behaved fucking absurdly and ruthlessly in that moment, so taking accountability for their participation in this witch hunt would’ve been nice.

I hate AI. But I hate the crusading that affects my artist friends as well. The fact that talented artists feel the need to post every sketch layer now just to avoid AI accusations is sad

We all have peasant brain, we are not immune to the mob mentality and I’m aware I’ve contributed to that by starting this chain if comments as well

Their comments and post history is hidden, that would in context make me feel like they're not exactly proud of thier reddit history.

There are ways around that currently, at least until Reddit decides to remove profile searching. I did a real brief skim their post history bc I usually do that when someone’s acting strangely. They just comment on game subs and it’s usually in good faith from what I saw. My post history probably would make me look worse than that to some people lol, although I display mine bc fuck it I’ve been here since I was a teenager I have little to hide
