@davidrevoy
Wow. That is a pretty damning indictment of their "AI detection AI".

@davidrevoy
Sorry that happens to you. Fwiw, my 11 year old niece isn't bothered and finds your work hilarious. As do I.

@davidrevoy
That's crazy. I bet there's tons of actual ai slop that didn't get flagged...

@davidrevoy Just shows how many """AI Art Generators""" were trained on your stuff =P

@davidrevoy Picture in the background is beautiful

@davidrevoy Dang, David. 😮‍💨 Instagram is terrible most of the time.

@davidrevoy Deeply sad times. Feel very sorry for a true (and good) artist.

I would explore real world canvases a little. Where AI has little traction (so far).

@davidrevoy

i wrote a whole rant about it with all my lungs

essentially:

the problem of AI is not fakes (although that is a problem, it's not the main problem)

the problem of AI is that it enables this loest common denominator asshole going ":fake, AI" under EVERY COMMENT AND WORK OF ART

that lazy behavior becomes a disinfo vector all by itself

@davidrevoy i suspect it's because a lot of "Al" art looks like your art…

@davidrevoy Yeah. I've been getting that with my writing. It's hard to describe how infuriating it is to have your work stolen, badly copied by a fucking machine, and then to be accused of being that same fucking machine.

hate it so much

@davidrevoy Obnoxious doesn't even cover that. I hope for a day when Meta and their ilk is just a blurb on a Wikipedia page.

@davidrevoy i looooooooove timelapses.
Also i looove artist showing or telling about the effort that goes into their art.
It helps me not feel toooo bad for the sometimes I pick up a pencil and try to free something from my mind.

@davidrevoy : the problem is that now you can find genAI that creates timelapses. I don't use them so I have no idea how good they currently are, but even if they're bad they still are enough to discredit timelapses entirely. Soon there will be no way to actually prove your creation is manmade and it's TERRIFYING.

@davidrevoy Only way to get rid of AI is to take the money out of it. Meta is making money on this and if they haven’t already started I bet they will start making their own AI accounts.

(Which is why I think free open source AI would grind the AI companies to a halt, because there would be no money in it and then it could be made ethical for whoever insists.)

@davidrevoy Time to ditch the metaverse?

@davidrevoy

Les tocards qui disent ça ne sont de toute façon pas ton public, envoi les chier.
Puis t'as une réputation, donc ne t'en fait pas trop.

Quant aux artistes qui veulent se lancer et qui ne font que du numérique par contre, oui, ça va être compliquer.

@davidrevoy maybe this AI era is to tell us to not rely on technology too much

@davidrevoy I think a greater focus away from online to real world canvases etc would be prudent.

@davidrevoy as another artist i know how hard it hits you just the other day some artist friend got questioned whether they used ai to draw their new art, cuz the questioner didn't understand the structure of their creative outfit, they were sad and upset just like you..

@davidrevoy Neither humans nor machines can distinguish between actual human made art and AI Generated crap.

@davidrevoy Sad to see that happening. Now you've posted this I bet some AI fanatic is busy working out how to train up a model that can slop out fake timelapses.

@davidrevoy What the hell, that's disgraceful of them. I mean it can't be that hard for a machine to detect *actual* AI art, can it?

@davidrevoy

Wow, mais l'IA fait des timelapses de ouf...

(Oui, je blague.)

@davidrevoy Dragons of Wales has the same issue. And that sucks for both of you who make such amazing art.

@davidrevoy

Sorry its hit you. After I got mislabeled as AI, I had an absolute torrent of people attack me all at once. Hope you don't get quite the same hate.

@davidrevoy I think it's because your art looks too similar to that of David Revoy, the author of Pepper & Carrot, while presenting new comics.

(«But doctor, » etc)

@davidrevoy

Aidan Robbins, a guy on YT who makes really beautiful mini nature/environmental documentaries made a thoughtful video on the subject on one of his secondary channels

Essentially he describes a growing intent to leave in imperfections in his work, and include "behind the scenes" type stuff to sort of make it easier for people to know it's not AI.

Not the exact same kind of art you make, but maybe some principles that might be food for thought:

@davidrevoy Ugh. I dread the day that people start using AI to make fake "process" videos.

Sorry you need to be on Insta for the reach.

@davidrevoy 😡 A similar issue can be found on Pinterest. Many artworks were wrongly tagged with "AI modified" tags. This is so annoying.

@davidrevoy @Gargron you should add your own disclaimer… “Likely harvested by Meta’s AI without my consent.”

@davidrevoy I would counter that with "Likely classified with AI"

@davidrevoy It would be more accurate to say that "the AI was probably trained using this artist work"

@davidrevoy another way in which AI has ruined everything

@davidrevoy oh pitié

(si ça se trouve Insta est vexé par tes comics sur l'Avian Intelligence 🙃)

(nique l'IA générative)

@davidrevoy It's hard to have an original thought in 2026.

@davidrevoy one day, we will vanquish Avian Intelligence

@davidrevoy

AI poisons everything it touches. 😟

Thanks for your beautiful and gently humorous artwork. 🙏

@davidrevoy irony being that the label is assigned by AI

@davidrevoy Liste, we just assume nobody making the effort of creating anything on their own anymore. So you may as well use AI.
Sincerely, Meta

@davidrevoy épouvantable.

Le pb est Instagram et leur usage de l'AI.

quand on lit vos livres (et qu'on participe à leurs traductions 😉 ), on sait bien que c'est le travail d'un artiste (et on l'en remercie).

🙏

@davidrevoy the absurdity AI has caused, that everything real now has to be proved to be real.

@davidrevoy 😞😞😞😞

@davidrevoy In my personal opinion, you could actually sue Meta for damages here, for harm to your job or reputation, or stop using these social networks.

@davidrevoy
would be funny if they tell you your 5+ years old content is AI too 🤭

@davidrevoy sounds like a confession:
AI was trained to copy whose art?

@davidrevoy même les IA n'arrivent plus à faire la différence, donc c'est forcément fait par IA, CQFD 🫤
La fabrique du doute jusqu'au bout.

@davidrevoy instagram disparaging creators. Who'd have thunk

@davidrevoy That's because AI was trained on your many great CC-licensed webcomics! Instagram doesn't know you're the source. 😉
