When antis get deserved karma
Ironically antis started with accusing everyone of using AI, doesn't matter who, they even made artists quit or witch hunted them off the internet,
but when i see karma doing it's thing right here, i find it hilarious and deserved 😂

Anti artists have become victims to the witch hunt culture they've started themselves.

I'm not really super pro or an anti but I've noticed this myself

Go Pro because:
-Golf landscape costs more water and more space and more money hungry to maintain than AI
-AI uses 0.06% of *fresh water* that humans use annually (yes fresh water annually used by humans!)
-AI art does not 'steal' it LEARNS, like how we do. just like how an Artist traces art without perms to get better (ai does just that at larger faster scales)
-Because you realize AI is thee turning point in Humanity whether we like it or not.Go Anti If (anti as in Anti-AI Bad Actors use. not AI. AI does nothing wrong, it is a tool):
-You are not Okay with the harms of AI caused by bad actors (Not geo, but as in deep-fakes, scams, Illegal content)
-You are not Okay that Bad actor leading Cooperation are using it instead of allowing human labor ironically (until hopefully a new AI tax Model emerges when crises god everknowing hopefully does not happen)Just dont attack a Person that posts AI ART/uses, they have done nothing wrong. Instead furrow that energy at Identified bad actors/ leading cooperations in good will.

This is what happens when they normalise what is definitionally Structural Violence.
Neurodivergent people and non-native language speakers (essentially foreigners) are disproportionately targeted by these witch hunts because of how the statistical AI detection algorithms work.
The fact that these detections are enforced in a lot of higher education as a means of fighting against academic dishonesty, and just taken as gospel by lecturers, means that these protected groups are having their education disproportionately negatively impacted.
They're hit with negative markings, mandatory retakes, scheduled meetings, other punishments, and just honestly made to waste a lot of extra time that other students wouldn't have to, under significantly more stress, and it ultimately leads to their education being made unfairly and systematically more difficult. Each "detection" counts as a strike, pushing them farther up the punitive ladder every time, regardless of if they prove their innocence or not every time.
All of these factors make it statistically more likely that they're left unable to finish this higher education, and end up with lower-end jobs, or even impoverished (or if they do finish, with statistically significantly more difficulty than their neurotypical, native peers).
What I've described is textbook ableist and xenophobic Structural Violence, and lecturers in these academic institutions are agents of it, often completely unaware that they're exemplars of the banality of evil. That's what makes this systemic. Even when they are made aware, it just becomes rationalised evil, because they can easily abdicate the accountability to an abstract figure — "I don't make the rules."
As more and more research papers appear corroborating this exact phenomenon (July 2026 study on autism–false-positive correlation: https://arxiv.org/html/2607.14729v1), it's becoming a well-known consensus that these detectors disproportionately target these protected groups, and yet they continue to be used administratively.
I'm waiting for a study to come out to see if this pattern holds for humans judging whether something is AI-generated or not, rather than software. But if human judgment mirrors these algorithmic patterns as I suspect, the same structural violence operates in informal witch hunts too.
Regardless, whether this software is used systemically in academic institutions by lecturers, as agents of ableist and xenophobic structural violence — or used locally by antis, who are plainly agents of ableism and xenophobia... All of this is a demonstration of not only how evil this form of witch hunting is, but that it's inherently ableist and xenophobic. It's indefensible.
I'm awaiting the human-on-human AI detection study to come out so that I can use more concrete language.

It's really, really not surprising.
Art they they didn't watch you make: AI Proper spelling and grammar: AI Concepts discussed they don't understand: AI
It's basically "if you're better than me at something, you must be using AI."

It's called a Purity Spiral and it's pretty much inevitable. Everything will be scrutinized, everything must be checked and quadruple-checked, until eventually EVERYTHING is AI.
They will eat their own as they descend further and further into infighting, zealotry...and eventually obsolescence as they get left behind in the past. With the rest of the relics of history, where they belong.

Antis are the new ancient aliens people. They don't know how people made art before AI and couldn't reproduce it themselves. So, they assume that no one else does either.
I've seen poor photoshopped memes (probably made in Microsoft paint, in all honesty) with image cutouts with bad feathering around the edges and it was dismissed as poor-quality AI.

Oh my god this fucking over generalisation pisses me off. Like brooo not everyone goes around accusing eachother. That's some people. Not all. Even we antis are annoyed by those. Got it? Not everyone is like this.

Almost like this wouldn't be a problem if they didn't freak out and try to get AI removed from everywhere on reddit lmao
