Aidan Robbins, a guy on YT who makes really beautiful mini nature/environmental documentaries made a thoughtful video on the subject on one of his secondary channels
Essentially he describes a growing intent to leave in imperfections in his work, and include "behind the scenes" type stuff to sort of make it easier for people to know it's not AI.
Not the exact same kind of art you make, but maybe some principles that might be food for thought:
as another artist i know how hard it hits you just the other day some artist friend got questioned whether they used ai to draw their new art, cuz the questioner didn't understand the structure of their creative outfit, they were sad and upset just like you..
Only way to get rid of AI is to take the money out of it. Meta is making money on this and if they haven’t already started I bet they will start making their own AI accounts.
(Which is why I think free open source AI would grind the AI companies to a halt, because there would be no money in it and then it could be made ethical for whoever insists.)
: the problem is that now you can find genAI that creates timelapses. I don't use them so I have no idea how good they currently are, but even if they're bad they still are enough to discredit timelapses entirely. Soon there will be no way to actually prove your creation is manmade and it's TERRIFYING.
i looooooooove timelapses. Also i looove artist showing or telling about the effort that goes into their art. It helps me not feel toooo bad for the sometimes I pick up a pencil and try to free something from my mind.
Yeah. I've been getting that with my writing. It's hard to describe how infuriating it is to have your work stolen, badly copied by a fucking machine, and then to be accused of being that same fucking machine.
The picture blew up on social media because it depicts police outside the Louvre, which experienced a spectacular theft of Napoleonic jewels, which seems like a detail right out of Hercule Poirot or Arsène Lupin or Sherlock Holmes... and so... et voila... the frisson of this picture is remarkable
This is happening to almost every creator. A lot of those accounts are AI bots, off to sow confusion and doubt by claiming any real art - real creativity - is AI.
The fact that AI is trained on our stolen works means that it will detect our creative efforts as AI... and therefore makes AI useless for detecting AI.
The tech bros who love AI want to - very literally - destroy any real creativity in favor of their fake slop.
Then they pretend to be offended when we say we hate AI.
It would be very easy for them to screw this up. Meta is awful at making an "A.I." and I don;t think Zark Fuckerberg knows what it is like to be, or interact with, a human.
the irony/absurdity of this is that the AI used to detect AI production probably had ingested your work at some point of its training from its base model and now consider anything remotely resembling your work as "possibly" made by AI, which strangely make sense as someone could have used the AI to copy your style. A bizarro word kind of sense; the very stuff that stole your work is now used to label your original work as fake. That's just...great. 🤦🏾♂️
"People don't believe us when we say that AI art is just as good as human art. Let them believe that human art is made by AI, until they stop believing their own senses".
Since this is not true, it means you are an unlikely person, which is good . I am happy to follow you here and not having insta… Hope you posted this content also on insta for those following you there !
I am so sorry that such wonderful work is a victim of rubbish AI nonsense. How can this be fixed? False automated accusations are actually libelous and I would take it on that way. There must be a artists' association that can so this? Good luck. Great paintings.
Time to encourage all of the kids under 15 who longer have access to social media platforms to start their own mastodon instances to get away from this nonsense
I got kicked out of a high paying freelance gig because my organic writing kept tripping their "industry standard" "AI detector." Said (alleged) detector was completely paywalled and just gave a percentage match, didn't highlight phrases, so I wouldn't have been able to fix individual issues. I suspect part of it is that I write like an autistic person, and another part is that when all you want is soulless advertising copy, it's impossible to distinguish the source.
They still owe me a couple hundred dollars too. But they're in a different state and the cost/hassle of going to small claims would have been prohibitive. Also it would have meant dealing with them again. So I'm calling it the asshole tax.

Le pb est Instagram et leur usage de l'AI.
