“I don't believe you,” a moderator for r/art replied. “Even if you did ‘paint’ it yourself, it's so obviously an Al-prompted design that it doesn't matter. If you really are a ‘serious’ artist, then you need to find a different style, because A) no one is going to believe when you say it's not Al, and B) the AI can do better in seconds what might take you hours. Sorry, it's the way of the world.”

"Do you art in a way that doesn't look fake, because I said so!" Fucking Reddit mods playing little tin gods in their sandboxes.

Moderators are almost all snotty children in larger subs. It reminds me of getting banned from r/science for posting a John Hopkins university article outlining the differences between standard vaccine safety trials, and the Covid19's "accelerated" testing.

Oh, that ban was obvious though, the Church of Science doesn't like it when pagans like you question their Holy Writ on climate change, transgenders, or the coof.

Her lips were just too puffy?

Looks "real" to me, just seems very, for lack of a better word "constructed"

It's good but nothing about the picture seems unique to me. Looks like a blend of popular styles with little personality. Granted I'm an internet critic with zero talent myself so me complaining about someone else's art is like a blind man complaining about a movie being in black and white.

I think the composition is arse.

It's unlikely an AI taking an average of millions of artworks would have got that wrong even though it could have picked all of those trite themes.

AI art has this very, uncanny effect when you look at it closely. It's kind of like a Medusa effect. Medusa is supposed to be so terrifyingly ugly that you can't depict her in art or else you'd turn to stone. So all the art of Medusa can't be "real".

AI art if you look at it it seems very real at first glance but once you look closer there's something very off about it.

It's interesting to vice because of the ai angle, not because they support your dumb conspiritard world view about censorship on a subreddit

Also, if you're going to crow about it here, as though this vice article is some kind of victory for internet racists, you should probably check if there aren't relevant developments to the story that could lead to you looking doubly retarded. Like this for example

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

Oh sure sorry it's fiscal conservatism and small government theory that gets right-wingers kicked off internet platforms

Hey now I don't give a shit about race I just fucking hate trannies

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Right, that's exactly what I said.

The notion that leftists control internet platforms didn't come about because you were banned for fiscal conservatism....it's the bullying and spreading hate against marginal groups

Not really the same thing; racism is morally wrong since you can't change your race and didn't pick it. Tranny shit is at its core an attitude of entitlement.

[–]Site_rly_sux 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

morally wrong since you can't change

That's how your views will be described also

People can't change their race so it is entirely unfair to treat them differently because of it. People can't change their sexual orientation and even if people think homosexual contact is wrong or gross, as long as they aren't trying to force it on others or shove it in people's faces, or expose children to it there's not really any reason to give a shit. The entire concept of modern transgenderism on the other hand is entirely about forcing it on others and forcing people to deny reality. It's not just retards running around in drag and pretending to be women, it's retards running around in drag and saying that it's hateful to not pretend that they're just like any other woman, that its discriminatory to keep them out of women sports, that straight men and lesbians should like cock, etc. Trannies don't need to do any of these things, nor do they deserve to, but they do anyway, and the more and they and their enablers gain power the more bullshit they impose on everyone else. If you can't see how that is an issue you might want to go to the doctor and see if your HRT gave you brain cancer.

To be honest if you read that word and it resonated enough that you felt personally offended. Then yes I am calling you, personally, a retard for holding a conspiracist worldview that's somehow validated by a subreddit janitor
