Anyway, I was suspecting that this “issue” might come up so I’ve removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what’s generated and what is not.

Great way to torpedo any trust people might’ve had in your project.

They are making the point that you won’t be able to tell the difference. & It’s a salient one.

Doesn’t give much confidence in their coding abilities then.

Okay. I guess you want the volunteer open source dev to write everything by hand from scratch so it will pass your high standards. That’s on you, honestly.

Ahh yes, how dare a community run and funded project have community accountability.

The project has several ways of being community funded.

Accountability for what!? You people have lost your minds.

Are YOU the dev in question, or do you just have an unreasonably huge boner for AI?

I happen to agree w the developer that people’s problem w AI is actually a problem w Capitalism

You sound even more like the dev in question. To quote from the article:

There are massive issues with AI tech, but those are caused by our current capitalist culture, not the tools themselves. In many ways, it couldn’t have been implemented in a worse way but it was AI that bought all the RAM, it was OpenAI. It was not AI that stole copyrighted content, it was Facebook. It wasn’t AI that laid off thousands of employees, it’s deluded executives who don’t understand that this tool is an augmentation, not a replacement for humans.

Well, you are making up head cannon. Check my profile, there’s a Pixelfed link. I’m an artist not an engineer.

I’m just telling you what you sound like. I checked your profile, gotta love the number of submissions that have characters that have one two many fingers. You are about as much as an artist as me walking down the street and paying an actual street artist to tell him what he should draw.

Look, as annoying as this guy is, I am pretty sure he drew these himself. I think I am usually pretty good at spotting AI and his profile doesn’t raise any flags for me. Of course I could be wrong, but just by the fact that these are often photographed pieces of paper makes me think it’s real.

Maybe you are right, it really was only one submission I found suspect, and it could be due to style, but AI is also increasingly difficult to discern. The paper says nothing, that’s just a border style:

Regardless, I’m still just describing what he sounds like, and sounding like that is what made me suspicious enough to try to check his other claims. Not sure why someone who is an artist would try to defend hiding AI usage, given they are being much more targeted and affected by generative AI. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter, he knows if he drew it or not.

Omg this shit is ludicrous. Are you baby brained?

I don’t use pencils to draw. I do this intentionally b/c I am a trained printmaker & back in the day when making intaglio prints(on copper plates), there was no way to erase.

So I spent a long time learning to create line art w/o using pencil b/c I wanted to create that same weird, not-quite-right look that intaglio prints have.

I’m not sure why I’m bothering explaining myself b/c I am not in the habit of doing that, but goddamn, get a fucking hobby then maybe you won’t feel so threatened by AI.

Honestly, I don’t care, it looks like shit to me.

Yeah, baby brained shit. Good luck, you’re going to need it.
