Guidelines:
You’re right. Staying quiet is not admitting anything, but it does leave a false accusation hanging.
Calling everything AI does not stop AI. It only makes real artists want to stop sharing. That hurts the art community, it hurts Lemmy, and IMHO, hurts the world a little too.
My step-by-step posts were not made for @dontsayaword@piefed.social . I made those posts earlier to show new artists that ya don't need lotsa money to make comics. I use the cheapest Amazon pencils and pens, take photos with my phone, and finish everything with free software on an ancient desktop. Photopea, GIMP, Linux Mint, free fonts.
My girlfriend’s daughter is 10 yrs old. Draws constantly. Today we're gonna sit down to draw together because I bought her a new sketchbook. The odds of her making a living with art are already low. They were low for me too, but I was able to do it. Different world today, tho.
So she'll probably draw for fun, and share things for free. Now imagine her opening the comments and seeing “AI slop” and “clearly AI” on something she worked hard on.
If kids and beginners get falsely called AI over and over, a lot of them will just stop sharing. That's why I defended. :)
