Dunno if this person is joking but it wouldn't be the first time a piece of art was wrongly accused of being AI generated. This is something that really concerns me about "AI" art and the backlash against it. Especially for artists whose work is intentionally strange or uncanny in some way. I'm just waiting for the day a novice artist gets cancelled because they too can't draw hands.
Not yet, but I suspect that at some point in the future it will become standard practice to document your process of making art exhaustively to avoid being called a "prompt engineer". It'll be like streaming your speedrun attempts - if you're respected enough in the community you can get away with not doing it, but if you just show up one day with a good run but no documentation it's a little sus.
I've seen a lot of posts on sites like Instagram and Tiktok where artists post their timelapses proving they weren't using AI, so it seems like the future is now
