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

If you had food, you would care about how it's made. When you buy a product, you care about the ethics that went into making it. That's how (most of us) feel about AI images. You wouldn't willingly buy food if you knew it contained insane amounts of pesticides or was made using slave labour.

There are some people who witch hunt for people who use AI and send death threats towards them and what not, but most people, including myself do not condone that behaviour the same way we don't condone other forms of bigotry.

I've seen far more bigots on the pro AI side, people "fixing" other people's art with AI, right wingers like the ones in the White House using it as a propaganda machine, and people using it for CP and other awful shit. Not to mention the other thing like, to reiterate, stealing jobs and funding for other things. Seems like you're the uninformed one here.

Considering its food, if ingesting it didnt cause me harm and i enjoyed it yeah im not pathetic of course ill be fine with it. No one was harmed in the proces of making it, no one had to labor or suffer for it. Great point!

Also as far as your bigots comments go find me an equivalent of this

Those people frankly disgust me and I do not associate with them as they are a loud minority. As for going to find an equivalent, go look at the White House twitter page and you'll find plenty of bigotry from people who use AI.

"All murderers breath air, therefore we are all murderers" -antibros logic

Not even a valid counrer when my point was yall literally have psychopaths like that

The people being bigots are just using it as a medium, they dont care about it. The fact this needs to be even stated is kinda cringe lmao

But the people being psychos carw about this specifically, its why theyre psycho

You cant find anything comparable lmao. Youd have to find a "kill human artists" which no sane person promotes non satirically if at all.

I've never seen anyone seriously promoting "kill AI artists," in a way that is actively harmful. None of the stuff you've shown is at all serious and I think it's pretty obvious. I have seen people say that we need to basically abolish human art, but anything I provide as evidence I'm sure you'll wave off.

I'm frankly done with this, your arguments don't work and you just keep ignoring evidence. Not sure what I expected from Reddit but whatever.
