Thanks for the support! Funny thing I wanted to plug here: I've never received comments like that here on the Fediverse :fediverse: , but I get dozens of them, weekly, on the Meta platforms (Facebook/Instagram)...I'm really grateful for how this community checks artists' work and actually verifies it's real human art before throwing random accusations.This is my favorite place to share for a reason. 💜

@davidrevoy I've seen this happen to so many artists and writers now... I want to burn down every "AI" datacenter and make the tech bros live in the burnt out remains with nothing but the ashes of their computers to eat.

@davidrevoy Ah, yes, one of the most frustraing consequences of this inflation of genAI bubble is how people are giving in to a tendency that anything slightly competent can only have been made by a computerPeople are getting a bit too complacent about being stupid as hell

@davidrevoy I mean I would HOPE people would need a real smoking gun to say that YOUR art is AI. I mean a lot of MFT is Anti-AI, so that would be random if it was made with AI.Either way it's usually better to question, but not accuse when it comes to AI I think. Unless it is very much egregiously AI than it's better not to just throw accusations.At least in this comic the vibe I get is just wanting to be a critic and not actually appreciating art though.

@davidrevoy On one hand, we know AI in general has a bias for yellow because yellowish images have a higher tendency of getting marked as "good looking" because of the "golden hour" in photography. On the other, true, while AI hurts artists, due to that, even more for those who like yellow tones! :fuminodepression3:

@davidrevoy But their is always souls in your work !The issue with other platform is that people expect ai stuff, they want to see ai stuff and it must look like ai. When they say "it's ai, right" it's not because they don't value your work but because they want to know that they can make a prompt and do the same.I could be completely wrong, but why stay on such places if they don't want ai crap ?

@davidrevoy I hate that I myself sometimes see genuine art and have doubts that it's AI. I guess it makes me pay more attention to the artist behind the art I see which is good.Now that "looking like good art" is something that AI can do, paying attention to what it's conveying and who's making it is more important than ever.I'll take community over mindless consumption everytime

@davidrevoy I think it's just something people struggle with, they will make deranged statements in pursuit of trying to seem like they're still on top of things.I know it's easy to say, but don't take it personally, I've always been a fan of both your art and your open source tooling/process.This stuff is one reason I'm really happy the EU is requiring AI involvement to be labeled as such; it works both ways, and hopefully other countries/areas will follow, so we can put an end to this.

@davidrevoy This is one of the things about AI generated art that many people don't think about... it's that *psychologically* speaking, regardless of whether we use AI or not, we're all now in a state of constantly questioning whether something is authentic or not.This is an incredibly erosive precedent to be set for human culture. We live in truly dangerous times.

@davidrevoyOh damn! I owe you a sincere apology.I'm used to avoid AI slop, and my reaction to the image 1 was “AI gen”. I even closed the image, and then saw the title “Authenticity Problem,” it made me doubt myself. I reopened the image, read the comic, and then watched the timelapse, which confirmed that it was indeed your work and not AI.And now I can’t even imagine what it must be like for you. Hang in there, and great work despite everything!And again, sorry! Apparently, I'm biased

@davidrevoy On the contrary. Thanks to you! It made me wonder how many images I’ve quickly closed just because they were “AI,” when they actually weren’t... And on top of that, it seems you’re a FOSS advocate and a Krita user (and maybe Blender, if I understand correctly).So clearly, I would have missed out on an opportunity, especially since I’m trying again to get into Krita, among other foss.Et aparemment vous êtes français en plus.

@davidrevoy you'd have to be an idiot to still be using the Meta platforms as a non-creator*, so it makes sense that so many wouldn't be able to tell the difference between your wonderful work and slop.* I understand creators and brands need to stay on there for their livelihoods. I wish they didn't, but I wouldn't call artists needing to make a living "idiots."

@davidrevoy If you think that would help for haters... 🤷 I have my doubts. It's not just the drawing. Just getting a grasp of modern problems mixed with fantasy RPG theme is totally creative for me. Those who ignore all of that now will most likely do so regardeless later on. I think many just see boosted strips and not the other stuff.I also like the other stuff an forwarded some of your videos to a friend (@KathyKahner). She mostly draws with good old tools like pen&paper. So I thought it might come in handy for her (maybe some time in the future) to get a glimpse of what someone could do with Krita.Although I suck at drawing (i'm in awe of your skills!), I am still fascinated about the workflow in digital Art.(But most of all I really like this #miniFantasyTheater strips.)

@TerryHancock @dgouttegattat True, I wasn't familiar with em-dash before making the translation system for Pepper&Carrot, in French it's not common, we often use the : or ; to split sentences like that, and of course, yes, personally I use too many parenthesis (of course). But I also adopted it.One of the AI effect I observed; now many French articles have this US/English way to construct sentences, with em-dash. And French tends to adopt it, so AI is shifting local culture more than we think.
