Hacker News

I did the opposite on Reddit. r/art was cruel on one of my posts because they assumed something I had made was ai, but it was a 3D piece made to look like a water colour with procedural textures and shaders. I spent hours on those textures to get them looking pretty cool imo but the instant someone accused it of being ai everyone tore it to shreds and were dming me with hate until I got banned from the subreddit lol

So I made a new account and posted ai watercolours of bland crap and they ate that shit up. Thousands of upvotes for a sailboat even though the ropes from the sail turned into the hull. A house on a snowy hill got compliments on my stylistic choice to have the smoke from the chimney turn into the clouds, but a few critiques telling me the lighting from the window didn't lie on the trees outside correctly. Which, yeah it was clearly ai but they couldn't tell because it was "water colour". The house also got over 1k upvotes.

I posted a few more all with positive reception before I got bored with them though lol
