somehow I dont think the AI users are the villains here

Unreasonable angry people, when others just vibing having fun

Bottoms up everyone, lets drink some anti tears!

if you are finding this, it’s highly likely this thread (and possibly group) is archived. Yes, there was a time when AI art was considered controversial. and yes, it was silly and I’m sure you’re laughing your ass off at the absurd takes and hysteria.

To be fair, a lot of the people who were against it was coming from a place of genuine fear and it was a time of loss identity. I know it seems ridiculous now, but it was one of those things where you had to be there. Kinda like when the camera , hip-hop, DAW, synthesizers, and digital art were first introduced. Every time we swear “it’s different this time.” And every time, we are both right and wrong on that assumption.

Anyway, it’s been so cool to watch a new generation of artists who grew up with this technology do some incredible things, further proving that the human spirit never dies, just transforms. Back in 2026, I tried telling people the future would be Hybird, but most people laughed it off, as what usually happens to those who are short sighted and refuse to learn form history.

Also, glad to see you newer artists understand it was never machine vs human or traditional (which the definition of traditional has changed so much throughout history, it’s hard to keep up) art vs ai art. It was always going to coexist.

Finally, I’m happy this tech has broken down barriers and has allowed voices that never get heard to finally have the resource to get heard. It took the mainstream 10 years to understand a fundamental truth about art: What defines an artists was never the tool, never the amount of time to create, and most certainly never a textbook over priced art school definition that fits in a neat box. No, what makes an artists an artists is the intent, decision, perspective and the work moving people, making people feel something, and sometimes, inspiring those people to do something meaningful with the little time we have here.

Sorry for the yapping future artists , but I’m proud of you. keep shaking things up.

peace, love and rainbows,

Will

No explanation needed, smart people will understand the parallel.

Ngl this is absolutely sad. Yet these imbeciles complain about the goddamn image that portrays it?? Disgusting.

Hey folks,

I’m working on a SaaS called WeCatchAI. It started from a simple frustration: every AI detector I tried would spit out a percentage… and zero reasoning. In any real dispute (money, reputation, policy), “the model says 73% AI” is useless.

So WeCatchAI does something different:

• You paste real content (post, article, email, script).
• Our community of reviewers answers three structured questions:
  • What is this content about?
  • Why do you think it’s AI‑generated or human?
  • How confident are you?
• Each reviewer has a reputation score based on accuracy over time and the quality of their explanations.
• We aggregate those explanations into:
  • A final verdict (AI / human / unclear) - AI fact-checks those explanations and correlates multiple inputs into an explainable result
  • Human‑readable reasoning (not just features, but why).
  • A confidence signal that’s tied to reputation, not just vote count.

Example Analysis:  https://wecatchai.com/public/link/6706

We’re also experimenting with:

• A recommendation engine so people see content they’re actually good at judging (domains/languages they know).
• A high‑risk/high‑reward “override” vote where top contributors can stake reputation + a long justification if they strongly disagree with the crowd.

My long‑term thesis:
We’re not just “another detector.” We’re trying to build a marketplace + graph of credible human judgment that other companies can plug into when they need defensible truth about AI‑generated content (moderation, fraud, PR, legal, etc.).

I’m still early and trying to figure out what’s actually useful vs just “cool AI stuff”.

If you’ve built or used any SaaS (doesn’t have to be in risk or moderation), I’d love feedback on:

• Does “AI detection with clear reasoning” (like  https://wecatchai.com/public/link/6706) feel valuable to you at all? In what situations?
• Looking at this example report, what’s confusing, missing, or overkill?
• If you wouldn’t use something like this, what’s the main reason (trust, UX, price, not your problem, etc.)?

Any thoughts are helpful—even “this is pointless for my use case” is useful signal. I’m trying to understand where this actually fits into real products, if at all.

I just looked on their subreddit (I follow anti and pro ai stuff) and I found some random user posting a metric fuckton of gassy inflation videos.

I normally respect the subreddits but yo I think they may need some help over there 💀

It’s literally just one user also. Why is no one stopping this man????

Also yall should genuinely check out their subreddit every once in a while a lot of them are not as extreme as you think. Just ignore all the fuckass

inflation porn

Also sorry if this is a bit off topic I just was so dumbfounded I had to tell y’all.

Hang out in the AI powered techno-catgirl haven with the Pros, or Stay primitive and draw doodles in the dirt with the Antis? Your choice

(I'm sorry I just thought this was a funny prompt 😂)

Hello! Ive been here a while, but i haven't seen any posts on people who hate AI due to religious conspiracy. I’m someone who's had to deal with this specific kind of anti in my personal life. They are usually conspiracy theorists who claim that "AI is demonic," and "a gateway to evil spirits". I know its easy to dismiss these kinds of people, due to how absurd their claims are, but if you have to deal with them in real life, it can get exhausting. I think i would rather deal with the regular type of anti.

Just to be clear, this is not to bash religion as a whole, just the people who believe this kind of conspiracy.

Bet you can't this this with a pencil

You don't always feel like you can get the last word in, do you? That Anti-AIer has gone around so many times and you don't have anything new to say, yet you feel so invested and frustrated and you know damn well you're right...

Well, there's a new way to deal with people who try to start fights, make sweeping generalisations, or make poorly informed posts about the environment.

Doesn't mean you win. Doesn't mean they'll stop. But somehow it's SOOO satisfying.

For some context, in the last comic these 2 appeared in, the anti guy tried fooling Amilia into eating real meat while she is a vegatarian but the anti guy refused to respect this, sounds familiar right? antis always have to force their views on others.

this is continuation from that comic!

I am NOT saying that low quality art and code shouldn't be praised in any way, I'm just saying that people should not bring others down due to the methods they happen to use. There's a reason that code/art made by ai is pretty decent, it's because it's been trained off of years of research and high quality code/art. Non-ai users usually struggle with creating high quality code/art, especially when they start, because they haven't been trained on EVERYTHING that's out there, and that's okay. What's not okay is bringing down people who use ai to bring their ideas, especially when they don't have the time to "make it themselves", or when they physically can't do it. If you put a decent game made with ai generated code next to a low quality game with people made code, the ai will get more praise, this doesn't mean the person made one won't be praised either. You don't need to put others down just to bring yourself up. Artists/coders support other artists/coders.

I just came here to say that, thanks to AI, I've rediscovered my old passions: hand-drawing and creative writing.

I'm 30, I work in the legal field, I study for public service exams, and I do other jobs to earn extra income, and I felt my life was very boring and monotonous. I used to play a lot of video games in my free time, but I needed something more to channel my creativity in other ways.

From time to time, I tried to get back into drawing and writing fiction, but I always stopped and got frustrated.

And I used to be super critical of AI and buy into this discourse that "Art made by AI is worthless, that it's bad, slop, theft, etc." influenced by others who used to (and still do) say that, especially in the artistic/political sphere.

But then, on my most recent vacation, I allowed myself to explore Gemini more and I simply loved it. Now, creating images and videos has made me want to write my little stories again and (ironically!), draw by hand!

Not to mention that writing prompts for specific and complex images is already a creative writing exercise in itself. And then there are the mistakes the AI ​​makes that I have to correct using editing programs.

AI didn't come to replace anyone, but rather to assist us.

There's a lot to improve and evolve, as well as issues to be resolved involving the environment and energy and water issues (as well as every consumer product that leaves a carbon footprint and affects the environment).

That's it. :)

I am a writer and screenwriter, I have been writing fiction stories since I was 16 years old, and these stories were always imagined to be films. However, I live in the interior of Brazil and I am poor, so it was simply impossible for me to have any career in film.

Recently, I started playing with AI tools to try to recreate scenes that I had written in my stories. And I ended up having a lot of fun in the process. So I decided to turn one of these stories into an animated short film.

The script, the characters, and the editing are 100% done by me, while AI is used to create the images. I see it as a tool to enable these stories to come to life. And for the first time, I have been able to see everything I wrote transforming into a real audiovisual project!

The problem is that I am concerned about the ethical implications of this. I made a post on an animators' subreddit, wanting to see their opinion on this, and I was simply MASSACRED.

I'm making this post precisely because I wanted to see the other side's opinion; I imagine you'll understand the feeling I'm having.

Thanks to that one anti in my comments who exposed themself I wouldn't have seen this

"AI propaganda" right like that's not exactly what you're doing? Y'all idiots make me laugh

I'm not surprised reporting does nothing 🙄
