What's crazy is you're starting to see an overreaction to this fact as well.
The other day I posted a short showcasing some artwork I made for a TCG I'm in the process of creating.
Comments poured in saying it was "doomed to fail" because it was just "AI slop"
In the video itself I explained how I made them, in Adobe Illustrator (even showing some of the layers, elements, etc).
Next I'm actually posting a recording of me making a character from start to finish, a timelapse.
Will be interesting if I get any more "AI slop" comments, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to share anything drawn now because people immediately assume it's generated.
I have seen this as well. Any nicely formatted medium to long text without obvious errors immediately comes under suspicion, even without the obvious tells
The people commenting about AI Slop, at least considerable portion, do so because it allows them to feel morally superior at little effort.
Do not expect them to retract or stop if there's a way to not see the making of :P
I feel you, but people nowadays go extreme lengths to present AI-generated artworks as hand-drawn.
It's not even funny. You can google "asamiarts tracing over AI" and read the whole drama. They have not only timelapse, but real world footage as 'evidence.' And they are not the only case.
It's not the fight you can win. Either ignore the comments calling you AI or just use AI.
