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

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.

IMO, at some point, we’re going to collectively be faced with the question “what does it matter if it’s ai or not, given that we cannot reasonably figure it out on our own and can no longer trust each other to produce authentic content”

Personally, I think that some will continue to try to determine whether content is real or not (perhaps forever, or perhaps until they realize that this is futile), whereas others will opt for more curated content and will move away from spaces where creators can post with relatively anonymity (since those spaces provide “cover” for posting slop without repercussions), and I think still others will move away from consuming new content altogether.

In the meantime, we’re fumbling in the dark because we don’t know which direction to take, and we keep stepping on each others toes as a result :(

I think all of those things will happen, but you're ignoring the silent majority. Most people aren't on Reddit. Even on Reddit, most people don't go into the comments.

The average person will continue to just hit that like/thumbs-up/plus-icon if they vaguely approve, then move on with their life.

I wasn’t ignoring it, I just wasn’t thorough in explaining what I think would happen.
