It seems like a lot of the slop posters will just brag about it, like “I made this using Grok! 😁” Lately I’m seeing a LOT of AI shills trying to AstroTurf Lemmy one post at a time.
First off, screw Grok. Screw Musk and Altman and all the AI Bros anarcho capitalist pyramid schemer con artists hyping BS to steal from others, and all their acolytes. Screw the lazy GenAI slop posts, they can get banned or downvoted.

Yeah… Well, to be clear, I’m one of those ‘AI shills.’
I’m not astroturfing. But I feel beaten down trying to make a distinction between a ‘self hosted ML tool user’ and ‘tech bro’ to a community that just wants to brigade and hate anything that even smells like AI. It just leads to false accusations against innocent, artistic posters like this, not to speak of artists hand drawing stuff but using ethical ML tools for post-processing or something. This just happens to be a more innocuous case where OP is around to reply and has instant proof.
IMO, dogpiling on posters one suspects of using AI (where it’s not obvious, and theres no profit/promotion motive) is like trying to dogpile on a poster over aspects of their personal identity. However you feel about any ‘AI,’ IMO it’s just not worth it: leads to paranoia and unfair persecution, and that culture is why many of us left Reddit.
It’s so bad. I post a lot, but I always make sure to look at the artists profile, the art tags, and look at fine details. I still see people accuse ai on anything “too good” even if it was posted prior to 2023 when all this took off
i wouldnt say its harmless. if people treat everything likes its AI, it becomes the norm and a subgroup pf people stop treating calls against AI seriously.
The boy who cried wolf is a retold story for a reason.
Its also arguably equally as offensive to call an actual artists work AI in the same vein as the oppsite.
Disagreed. It often gets argumentative and hostile, and it’s usually futile. It spams up the comment sections and invites downvotes for what might be a false accusation.
…And does it really matter, if it’s not obvious and seems hand drawn? Or photographed, CGI’d or whatever.
I think its only does if OP is trying to sell it, promote themselves or something scummy like that (which is clearly not the case here).
I think communities (or even instances?) need rules about ai slop accusations.
It’s its in like every image post’s comment section now.

Well, would you rather them NOT tell you it is AI? I don’t think it’s bragging, it’s disclosure

Sorry to vent.
Personally I much do prefer handmade art, so yeah, I get what they’re saying.

Counterpoint: It’s funny and harmless. Only by discussing what is(n’t) AI slop will we get better at finding it.

It’s also incredibly insulting to work on a piece like this and just be accused of generating it. Or maybe it’s a compliment?
I’m not sure how I feel about it lol
You should feel great, because your work is fantastic ✨
