Artists Are Being Accused of Using AI

I might sound a bit snarky in here but don’t worry -
this is still light hearted fun! I would love to get into some actual true accusations of AI usage someday but for now this shall do!
More and more artists get accused of using AI and not just digital artists, some traditional artists have been, too, since you can use filters that look so much like a real drawing now even!
How do you feel about the rampant accusations going around?

Ai is actually insane. I was looking up “Horse kneeling down” for a reference bc I cant draw horses lol and as I scroll I see ai art of a girl kneeling down next to a horse with a bunny next to her. Like HUH???!

[@mayuuuc88]

Wow 🙈 I wish we could all collectively see it as a tool for reference purposes for example because it’s not easy to find actual real pictures of certain things sometimes!

[@ControversyCupcake]

@@mayuuuc88 Well it depends on what reference you need I think because ai isn’t the most accurate especially with human hands. Sorry If I sounded rude I cant tell how to take your comment.

[@LeharcBlueHeart]

as an artist I have found it's harder to find real reference photos now. There's so much ai. If I look up alphonse mucha to do a study of his work, 70% of results are ai art that has been fed his paintings VS his actual work. 🫠

[@mayuuuc88]

Oh yeah I mean for some things obviously ai reference won’t work I just meant I would love for ai to be a supportive tool for artists in the future rather than the ai ‘art’ to be the final product! It would be cool to use it to test compositions and ideas quickly :) but yeah the hands are awful most of the time!

[@ControversyCupcake]

@@mayuuuc88 thank you for clearing that up 😁

I'm a pixel artist. Years ago, I made a pixel portrait of my girlfriend's OC, and she had it as a PFP. People were instantly blocking her on her social media because they mistook it as an AI generated NFT. Not so much as a hello first or anything, just assuming it and blocking before knowing anything about her based on that one PFP. I know my art wasn't the greatest back then, but I'd like to think it was still better quality than an AI generated NFT. Talk about insulting. 💀

[@mayuuuc88]

Totally insulting! I am so in love with pixel art and the nostalgia it represents, I bet you did a great job (your pfp here for example looks amazing!) - I’m really sorry that happened to your art and your girlfriend :(

[@TitaniumTsar]

@@mayuuuc88 It looks amazing? Thank you! 🥹 This was back in 2021-2022, so thankfully the NFT trend has died down a lot, and my art has improved a lot since then, but it did sting a bit at the time. I'm just glad people no longer instantly think of NFTs when they see any kind of pixel art, lol. 😂

[@Aluenvey]

This, also a pixel artist. This whole accusing real artists of using AI is a lot of why I started uploading my speedpaints to other places these days.

[@chaosful8533]

it's annoying that the people who call things out for being AI are not artists themselves and do not have the eye for being able to tell what is and isn't ai generated

[@mayuuuc88]

Right? I thought it was such an interesting coincidence that the once accusing are not making art themselves but it makes sense since otherwise they could easily tell!

[@Hodgis93]

Im sorry u had to experience this. Ur art is absolutely gorgeous and it was really interesting to see ur process ❤

[@mayuuuc88]

Thank you so much!!! I mean it’s not even that bad, I’ll try to take it as a compliment that it looks effortless haha 🙏🏻

[@Absbor]

New insult/compliment update: haters claiming pretty art as ai, bc these haters are shitty and have no self-worth.

[@mayuuuc88]

Yeah it really seems like a quick thrown out insult! If it was genuine curiosity or criticism they would be open for evidence that disproves the claim!

[@childofthecity6181]

how far society has fallen i am learning how to draw and try to ignore all the AI news, because whatever, but apparently stealing art to feed it into the mechanical furnace to make AI drawings a thing is not enough, now they are accusing the artists of using AI... that stole the art of artists and while i enjoy the process of drawing, i still want to have a positive feedback, as well as any other person who does... well, anything, so seeing someone not even saying that your art is bad (which means you still can make it good with enough study and practice), the AI allegation is way worse because it just invalidates all your work i send you, the author of this video, the best wishes and hope that this insanity will pass you soon, so that you will once again be seen as a wonderful artist that you are (also god daymn how did you learn to draw like that)

[@mayuuuc88]

Thank you so much for you comment and input and the well wishes!!! I also wish that you keep your love and enthusiasm for drawing - even through these times of AI invalidating artists no matter where they are in their progress. Positive feedback is something we all crave, constructive criticism something that can help us and elevate our art but allegations lead us nowhere and into disillusionment with art as a whole. Let’s hope that all of us creative people can make it through this period of time and not lose our joy of creating 🙏🏻

[@RyuuKawaii]

They are probably just accusing because they are jealous they could never do as good as you or their intentions are just simply to make you mad. What sane person would accuse with no proof to back up their claims. That just makes them look silly. 💜💙

[@mayuuuc88]

Aw thank you!! I try to give the benefit of the doubt, maybe they are new to art and overwhelmed by the rampant AI use themselves but then it would be kinder to actually just ‘ask’ and not accuse without proof as you said!

[@Common-om1um]

agh ai is the worst :c

[@mayuuuc88]

Yeah I can’t warm up to it tbh :/

[@kawaiikiwi.1820]

YOUR ART IS SO GOOD YOU ARE SO UNDERRATED AHHHH !!!!

[@mayuuuc88]

Ahhh thank you so much 🥹😭🙏🏻💕

[@user-jn2xi1yc8d]

Ur arts a re so pretty!❤

[@mayuuuc88]

Thank you very much ☺️🙏🏻

[@Brittany_Fan]

Underrated channel, for real. But i agree. AI art is horrible.

[@mayuuuc88]

Thank you very much!! And yeah I want to live harmoniously with AI but so far it’s not possible as an artist!

[@columbojr7270]

Ai cant create new ideas or embody human emotions

[@mayuuuc88]

Yeah it needs human input for now definitely but I wonder for how long!

[@BlueberryMEPG]

What the sigma HOW DOES YOUR OC BE SO SIMPLE BUT SO CUTE??? by the way frick ai.

[@mayuuuc88]

Ahhh thank you so much!!! I want to simplify it even more eventually maybe to have an even bigger range of emotion, really appreciate your comment 🥹🙏🏻
