The artist has been uploading identically styled and composed works since at least 2019. The moderators clearly didn't even glance at portfolio, or, if they did, then they are too full of themselves to admit an embarrassing mistake.
Absolute retardation on the part of the moderator(s) and an own goal for the anti-AI art crowd, as it's a tacit admission that AI art is more than good enough.
The biggest cause of a lot of modern problems is that we let too many people who are immune to shame into positions where shame is the only mechanism keeping them in line.
The whole sub is now set to private, citing 'brigading', aka the obvious thing that inevitably happens when word gets around of your colossal stupidity and people rightly come to tell you what a dumbass you are.
As an artfag myself, I'm utterly embarassed by the reactions I've seen from other artists. One thing I've noticed is at that the more mad about AI art they are, the more likely they are to to be a fucking commie. ...Which is hilarious to me, because there's no such thing as IP rights under communism.
Communism is all about envy, but give a commie the tiniest piece of ownership and they're more miserly than a Charles Dickens villain. Reading up on the whole sublet thing a few years ago really reinforced that. They'll cry about landlords being evil until their face is as blue as their hair, but then they'll charge strangers hundreds of dollars a month and impose all sorts of discriminatory rules for the privilege of sleeping in the crawlspace.

Sociopaths don't get embarrassed. They externalize the embarrassment to blame someone else. In this case, "your art sucks."

This could also be fixed by introducing additional deterrence mechanisms, such as an appropriately timed punch in the face.
I'd like to see the return of, as Matt Christiansen calls them, "big bird costumes." A.K.A. tar and feathering.
I don't think I could possibly agree more. I often tell people that we need to bring back shaming people publicly, and it would fix a lot of problems.
They wouldn't have instantly muted him if they weren't concerned about being further embarrassed by him pointing it out.

SORRY Y'ALL CAN'T BEHAVE I'M GOING TO LOCK THIS THREAD DOWN TEEHEE
It's an assertion that art is no more than technical skill, in which case AI should replace us.
But it's not. Art is about conveying transcendance; a human can do that using an AI, an AI cannot do it alone.
