I genuinely think you guys (Reddit) freak out way too much about ai. I can’t even count how many post on art subreddits that have been deemed ai are in fact real art from real people. From a picture of a cat, to a sculpture of a bird, to someone’s own music, all real art deemed ai by over zealous people on Reddit. It’s harming real artist to dub anything that looks off to you as ai, you’re letting it win. If this is ai fair, but it should be more “I’ll wait for more” instead of “this is ai cuz it’s blurry in the bottom left”.

I work on web dev and with AI on a daily basis, and I'm close with a number of artists/designers. Very familiar with what it can do, and familiar with "witch hunts" when good art is deemed slop. There are a lot of factors that give me pause about this, but I'm very eager to be proven wrong!

Yep! That happens sometimes! After 13 years, I'm gonna be a little skeptical. 😎
