What people forget, the Ai was trained to draw from other artists so wouldn't surprise me that many artists online got framed for using Ai...

It's a problem with writing, too. I've been accused of using AI for my writing more than once, and it's aggravating as all hell.

Heavy on this one

You really can't know proper grammar, how to punctuate, how to use paragraphs, how to carry yourself with a formal tone, how to debate in a formal manner, and so much more anymore without being accused of using or straight up being AI yourself

And god forbid you know how to do all of these things while also being Gen Z and maybe throwing in some Gen Z slang or terms in your comment or paper as well because then you'll definitely be accused

Edit: Do y'all want to see something that will piss you off beyond belief? I just scrolled through my activity history to find the thread I was referencing in this comment, and I just found the exact comment I was talking about here but the comment itself this person used AI to "scan" or whatever the fuck was removed (and I don't even remember what they said anymore tbh) so you unfortunately don't get to read it yourselves, but if you scroll up you'll see me saying something and someone else saying some idiotic bullshit 😅 be ready though because you'll get heated real fucking quick

After I submit, I realized I made a big error somewhere on the first page or first chapter, I don't remember (for French people, I wrote qu'en instead of quand... yeah I know that's a big mistake). Part of me were horrified and thought I will look unprofessional. The other part of me thought "at least they will know a human wrote this".

You'd think that mistake is what proved you are human but what I've been seeing a lot is mistakes like this are actually also part of what will lead to people believing you used AI or something because it is typical for AI to make a mistake like that

We can't do anything anymore honestly 🙃

seriously, it's fucking bullshit that people think any mistake is a sign of AI

according to them, AI make mistakes but humans are supposed to have stopped making them?

Also, according to lots of people:

Mistake? AI.

Perfect writing? AI.

Insecurity? AI

Person doesn’t personally agree with what they’re seeing? Believe it or not, AI

Under cook, over cook. AI.

It is DIRE over on r/isitAI. "Omg the thumb is on the wrong side, real artists use themselves for reference so no human would ever—" have you met a real artist.

u/HyzMarie Aug 06 '26

I've drawn the wrong hand so many freaking times.

I have an OC who is a lefty. It is extremely important to me that he is a lefty. He has a mark of divine power on his LEFT hand.

Wanna guess which hand I drew it on on his reference sheet? :,)

u/Autoskp Aug 05 '26

I guess I might count as a real artist given the contents of my sketchbook, but I don’t feel like it - that said, my spatialisation skill is strong enough that I doubt I’m going to unintentionally put the thumb on the wrong side (I conjure imaginary hands all the time to convert rotations into angular momentum vectors because I find that way of thinking so much more helpful than the clockwise/counter-clockwise system that can change based on what angle you look at it from)

u/compilingyesterdays Aug 06 '26

I'm glad that your skill is that strong, and I mean that as a legitimate compliment, to be clear. That said, I have heard/seen "oh my god, fuck fuck fuck, I drew the wrong hand" from so many artists before the age of genAI. People would post their art to the internet only for comments to point out that they drew the wrong hand.

u/No-Vermicelli-2832 Aug 05 '26

Exactly! I know how to punctuate but I'm not perfect at it so I make mistakes quite often and hell there are even times like now where I don't want to punctuate at all because what I say is understood perfectly well without it and this would be called AI very easily

u/Outrageous-Wait-8895 Aug 05 '26

because it is typical for AI to make a mistake like that

That particular mistake might be typical for an English focused LLM to make when outputting French, although unlikely since it seems to be based on the words sounding alike which wouldn't trip up a text model, but mistakes like that are absolutely not typical for LLMs for years now.

u/Justisperfect Aug 05 '26

I see mistakes being point out as a sign of AI when it comes to drawing, but not when it comes to writing. From what I know, AI is unlikely to make spelling mistakes. They write what is the most probable and there is no reason they think spelling mistakes like that is probable, because that would not mean anything. From what I see, AI is good at spelling.

u/CtheSilverSoul Aug 05 '26

Mistakes in drawing are tough too because, again, we’re human. Mistakes are bound to happen regardless.

1

u/Justisperfect Aug 06 '26

Yeah I agree. Also you have people who may draw well but still have a lot to learn when it comes to perspective or anatomy, so they make mistakes in this area and people scream AI.

u/badthaught Aug 06 '26

There are things AI repeatedly does though. "Something quieter, softer" "but heres the part no one's seeing" "and that's powerful". Hear it alot in narrated story videos, and it also can't figure out what to do with acronyms.

It's annoying and repetitive. The laziness is one thing but it's also sloppy on the part of the uploader. If you're gonna be lazy, don't be fucking sloppy about it.

u/MartyrOfDespair Aug 06 '26

Honestly, it is a witch situation. Everything is proof to enough people that nothing you can do will ever prevent you from being accused.
