@davidrevoy that reminds me of a story you told us recently… 🤔

@davidrevoy
Bonjour David,
Merci pour ce que tu partages, cela illumine mes journées 👍

@davidrevoy

@davidrevoy

Je compatis et suis dépité d'être impuissant.

@davidrevoy Forget the style it's even the characters I looked your name up and somebody trained a model specifically for Pepper

@davidrevoy Sadly there are not much we can do to verify if content has been created by human people or not.
Fortunately, many people don't care about that.
Unfortunately, I care about it so... I'm sorry if I have got wrong identifying an AI work and I've not treated it as good as deserved.

@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

Ceci n'est pas une IA.

@davidrevoy

This is so sad and true 😟

@davidrevoy You are one of the first people I followed on mastodon and feels so nice to see your post getting so much love. I have no idea what it can be like doing what you do in these times. All I can do is join here and share this from behind a smile, a feeling of empathy to a "stranger" I have a feeling I know and tell you that I look forward to your posts. Especially now after this one.

Cheers

@davidrevoy

This is a beautiful human made comic strip.

I actually like the painting, too.

@davidrevoy this literally made me cry

@davidrevoy I've been out painting in plein aire and had people ask me if I was actually painting.

@davidrevoy
C'est sur aussi si tu ne met pas un certificat d'authenticité sans IA comment tu veux qu'on sache 😁

🤗

@davidrevoy Great work as always. Also, I'm in pain now.

@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 any time

@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 love it so much! A lot of real human #artists and #creatives will find themselves in it.

@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!

@davidrevoy uncannily, those panels look a lot like AI as well. nice work.

@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 computer

People are getting a bit too complacent about being stupid as hell

@davidrevoy
Coworker: "You write like AI"
Me, a writer: "Bitch"

@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.

Thanks for the support! Funny thing I wanted to plug here: I've never received comments like that here on the 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 know this one is personal for you. That has to really feel like a punch in the gut.

@davidrevoy sendng love and support ! <3

@davidrevoy "Love your yellows"! 😆

@davidrevoy could you do the painting as a wallpaper or something?
