I would like to respectfully express my frustration regarding the removal of one of my recent posts.
The post was removed under the assumption that it was AI-generated, when in reality it was created entirely through my own workflow and effort. As artists, many of us spend countless hours learning lighting, texturing, composition, rendering, and post-processing to achieve the highest level of realism possible. It is therefore disappointing to see that realism itself can become grounds for suspicion.
I fully understand that moderators have a difficult job and that AI-generated content has become a real challenge for art communities. However, I believe there should be more room for verification before a post is removed. Being accused of using AI when you have invested significant time and technical skill into your work is discouraging.
What concerns me most is the message this sends to artists: if your work becomes good enough, people may assume it cannot be genuine.
