Youโ€™re arguing based on possibility rather than concrete proof. Thatโ€™s inherently unfair.

Donโ€™t you think it affects someone more to have unprompted AI usage allegations thrown at them, even if they happen to be true, compared to you making baseless claims? Iโ€™ll be honest, Iโ€™m not enjoying this conversation, but I choose empathy for the artist, that's why I'm still replying.

27.07.2025 04:05 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Through all this what I'm trying to say it's never been *your* place to accuse someone. Which you did by the way. Neither you nor I can say 100% whether theyโ€™re honest or not, but youโ€™ve definitely crossed a line. Never harass people like that again.

27.07.2025 03:53 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

And how do you expect to compare training sketches to artworks that had more time and effort put into them and believe you have enough proof to accuse someone?

27.07.2025 03:43 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Youโ€™re *accussing* someone publicly. How is that not upsetting? And Iโ€™ve already told you itโ€™s normal for artists to have fluctuations in their styles or techniques, especially if they are relatively new. Itโ€™s part of the learning process. Also, what gives you the right to demand proof?

27.07.2025 03:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

4. As for your argument about sketching technique: I used to sketch in a similar way too. So, what, does it mean I used AI or am a thief now?
5. Lastly, what gives you the right to harass someone like this? Do you genuinely believe this kind of behaviour is appropriate or helpful in any way?

3. You've yet to provide any concrete evidence of art theft. The examples you gave are either irrelevant or not specific enough to support such a serious accusation. And let's not forget that being inspired by other artists is part of how people learn. Also,AI is trained on existing human made art

1. You've clearly upset him, and that alone should give you pause
2. He's a relatively new artist, and fluctuations in style or quality are completely normal during the learning process

Since I'm a bit of a slowpoke, this post is kinda late (hence the "+"), but anyway...

It's crazy to me that you have the audacity to spew nonsense without any proof. Who do you think you are, claiming the lines look odd or demanding video evidence? Go get a hobby

your art style doesnโ€™t look anything like AI. theyโ€™re either attention seeking or just thaaat clueless ๐Ÿ˜‘

Thanks! Itโ€™s basically a 2D sprite placed in a 3D environment. Iโ€™m using low-poly 3D assets, and also have a pixel filter on top that lowers the resolution before scaling it back up.
