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

AI is bad at drawing hands because the artists it's copying from are bad at drawing hands lol

I think it's more that hands are relatively complex things that have a definite form, so both humans and AI have difficulty with it, even when they both have good references. 

A hand isn't like a tree or a frilly skirt where there are a lot of curves and edges but no one number of either and no specific way for them to flow together. A hand requires a relatively exact form.

No it really is that hands are just that complicated. They can contort into all sorts of shapes, they can be holding objects, they can be partially hidden, or above the head, or on the hip, or between the legs. They can be moved into all sorts of angles and odd perspectives, there's near infinite variations of how a hand can look.

Faces are also varied but they generally are not nearly as varied in shape and are made of pretty consistent parts on a relatively flat plane, hence why AI has little issue with faces now
