    Mate, I’m not scrolling the feed looking for opportunities to do investigative journalism.

      Ok.

      But apparently what you do look for, are opportunities to comment unfounded suspiciouns, which you could have disproven by opening any single one of the links in the very same post.

      That’s not investigative journalism. That’s the bare minimum.

      Otherwise you risk spreading your suspiciouns to everyone just as lazy as you. And you are lazy.

      Writing that comment required more effort than checking the date of the work using one of the provided links. And that’s before considering that verifying a thought before voicing is basic common sense. Instead you left a comment that is a literal request for others to do this for you.

        We should normalize asking if something uses AI, we should normalize tagging art as AI-free.

          In a community that forbids it?

          In… In a communtiy that forbids AI?

          Asking is fine.

          But you didn’t bring up anything unclear. You asked if water was wet, while standing in some.

          By all means if something raises an eyebrow and the sources don’t back it up, look into it. But you didn’t do that.

          All you did was essentially go “this is sus” on something that 100% wasn’t, and then drop the mic.

          And when told you could have just answered the question yourself, you instantly cry “too much effort”.

            For somebody who thinks asking is fine you certainly have a lot to say about me asking.

            The smooth detailed musculature, the tedious rough textures, the odd glow, highlights, and shadows put this squarely in the same uncanny valley as AI generated. Maybe if you took a more stylized approach.

            It’s a good piece though, thank you for sharing it.

              I didn’t have a problem with you asking.

              I have problem with your “others can put in the effort” attitude.

              My initial reply is essentially little more than a reply to your question.

              Only once you straight up went “I’m not some investigative journalist” when all you had to do was open a fucking link, did I take issue.

                  When you realize that you’re pushing someone’s buttons, going straight to looking for more, is not a cool thing to do.

                  It’s childish and pathetic when it doesn’t work. Cruel and rude, when it does.

                  It doesn’t make some kind of point. Being a dick isn’t fine. No-one should need a thick skin to deal with you.

                  If people do, that doesn’t make you any kind of cool. Just plain unpleasant.
