New blog-post: "When online commenters 'detect' my art as AI"

→ davidrevoy.com/article1164/whe

Screenshots of comments from various platforms: - but is WAY to similar to Al - Is this Al or just made to look that way? - was the ai style in purpose too? 3 - Your art looks like low quality Al - Trying to figure out if this is ai - Dang, it's crazy seeing the source art style to so00o many of those Al slop comics, kinda surreal. - I have a feeling the faces feel off - this isn't the transcript, this is just the exact same script you gave to the Al - this art looks hella ai generated - Nice comic. What prompt? - Shitty Al art - AI? LMAO . - You must be John Art because it seems that it stole from you the most - Is it me or the proportions looks like Ai art?

@davidrevoy Man... You know, the really, really bizarre ones to me aren't the ones that, like, accuse you of using AI, despite you having literal decades of documentation and video proof of your hand.

It's the ones that accuse you of deliberately using an AI style, as if you're trying to trick them into thinking it's AI?

I wonder if some people just genuinely can't tell the difference between corporatized AI "style" and a soft, stylized cartoon with warm colors and a painterly texture.

@ToonLink Yes, that's why I'm on alert: many people now think my art is just as bad as "AI slop", and I understand why.
So I feel torn: I don't know if I should adapt, shift and bend my style until it's no longer "identified as AI", or if I should abandon the aesthetic that's such a big part of me (if only I can?). I'll think a lot about it while painting on the next weeks. I'll also take a little bit of holidays in August, I think it is the right time for it.

@davidrevoy I don't think changing the style would change anything. I honestly don't think your style looks like AI (or at least not the AI I've seen), and you might end up chasing dragons for something that won't stop the accusations anyway.

It's just... so strange. I think that, since those kind of places are so full of AI, people are extra vigilant. It stops being a reality check and starts being a defense against "falling for it", to the point that people want to see AI that isn't there.

@davidrevoy Obviously I'm not going to make demands. 😆 And I will support you in any decisions you make. I like your art because it comes from you, not because it looks a certain way (and definitely take some time off!)

But I think it's more important to live authentically, than to worry about if other people think you're "doing it right". I know that's different when you're worried about a career, but industry peeps have a different perspective from randos who might just want to shitstir.
