For Instagram, my art is "Likely made with AI". Hard to be an artist in 2026...

i wrote a whole rant about it with all my lungs
essentially:
the problem of #AI is not fakes (although that is a problem, it's not the main problem)
the problem of AI is that it enables this lowest common denominator asshole going "fake, AI" under EVERY GODDAMN NEWS ITEM AND ARTWORK
that lazy behavior becomes a #disinfo vector all by itself
the point of the #propaganda routine the Firehose of Falsehood is to make us distrust everything, even the real
@davidrevoy Here's the dirty secret nobody tells you: these "AI detection algorithms" are themselves AI, and subject to the same "hallucination" issues.
@me @davidrevoy yep, reminds me of this gem
@maxlath @me @davidrevoy put som HG. Wells through and see if that dude had time travel after all. If he was using AI we know he could travel through time, meaning it was all made up, so he didn’t have…shit this might be one of those paradox things we should avoid.
@maxlath @me @davidrevoy Seems to confuse 19th century flowery prose with AI verbosity.
@maxlath HAHAHA oh god, I made the ugliest laugh.
@davidrevoy sounds like a confession:
AI was trained to copy whose art?
I put some of my works, even actual scanned pencil drawings that were never touched by a painting software, through some AI detectors just to see what would happen and my traditional pieces were often rated as being likely AI.
@Takiro that raises the question: what are the criteria for tagging a picture as ”not likely AI“?
(Respectively, on what basis is the likelihood for ”not AI“ computed?)
🤔
@davidrevoy
@davidrevoy, this is so sad. I committed digital suicide on these platforms. I was too annoyed, and not only once. Following you on mastodon now.
@davidrevoy That's because AI was trained on your many great CC-licensed webcomics! Instagram doesn't know you're the source. 😉
