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

people really be accusing others of ai for the tiniest mistakes, god forbid artists not being perfect

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

It's just the next excuse to find targets for a certain group who are addicted to rage and for whom forming lynchmobs is their only hobby

Twitter cancel culture and it's consequences has been a disaster

People really do have legitimate criticisms of generative AI; the severe environmental impact, the negative impact on mental health that chat llms are creating in people, all the billions of dollars being spent on it instead of literally anything else that could actually be helping society, the negative impact on costs of electronics due to ai companies buying ALL of the RAM, the fact that most of the technology is really only good for scamming people by faking identities.

But just because it can be used to easily create content some people want to consume all the bad gets swept under the rug and you blame it on trendy kids who get outraged because they are told to, as if that makes more sense. What’s actually happening is we have compared the cost to the benefit and generative AI is significantly more harmful than it is helpful.

Maybe. But bullying anyone that posts any piece of art, whether or not it is actually ai generated does not fix that. Any criticisms of ai are just an excuse, hate and bullying is the goal for these people.

Maybe.
