I need to add to this that blocking is not the answer. Actively down vote if your instance allows. The practices discussed here passively harm artists.

    Given how they lean into it and how they act in this thread and others calling him out, they’re doing it on purpose. To piss people off. As in they are a full on troll and need to be banished back under their bridge, across all instances that give a shit.

      That’s why I made this shitty comic. People need to not block, but heavily down vote this behavior. I will die on this hill. I’m not going to look, but it is at least hundreds of posts that this fuck makes with the intent of hurting artists.

      The whole “don’t feed the troll” thing needs to be inversely applied here. Downvote all of it. Period. For every post that this idiot troll makes, there is at least 1 person that doesn’t see or care what’s going on and they’ll download the image without attribution, share it, and the problem continues.

    Blocking them isn’t enough, because the harm they do with the plagiarism goes beyond stinking up your personal feed. This kind of stuff proliferates. People save the image to post somewhere else, and so on. Annoyingly, plagiarism doesn’t seem to be against the rules in this comminity, but I really think it should be.

    I don’t like Beep’s opinions, or stealing, so have blocked him/her, problem solved

      I get it, but doesn’t that way of thinking naturally lead to echo chambers and yes-manning? It’s better to clean the well rather complaining when we get dirt in our water.

    And then it hit me. You know why b__p is cropping signatures and remaking comics with AI?

    It’s not because of some misaligned anti advertisement agenda.

    It’s because they can’t produce anything themselves but want to give the illusion by stealing other people’s stuff and desperately trying to funnel all credit to themselves as the provider of funsies.

    That is some pathetic bottom feeder behaviour. Defeatist about themselves to even try do something of their own and submitting to theft for validation.

      I can’t believe I left Reddit and Xitter, to be free from AI bros and still am going to be encountering them.

    I mean he always credits in the description. Not sure why this is the main focus of Lemmy

      The issue was laid out in the comic I made. These images will be shared without credit; there is no way around that. By deliberately removing credit, it will remove the credit/attribution potentially many thousands of times in the long run.

    Not only that, but also, how am I supposed to find the artist’s other comics or the follow up if it’s a series? Reverse search? It’s incredibly stupid.

    I’ve been thinking, how come I see multiple people bring them up and I haven’t seen their posts myself? Turns out I’ve already blocked them at some point in the past

        It would be cool if we had a web of trust. So if everyone you’ve been upvoting keeps downvoting someone, then that someone’s posts are hidden by default.

        Example:

        post hidden due to poor reputation

        Here’s a long rambling story that looks like it might be interesting…

        … and that’s why we should expand child labor.

        I rarely block, but I tag with Voyager. That way I’m not missing any conversation, I’ll see a warning for comments likely to be disingenuous, and they don’t live rent-free in my head.

      That’s why I tag instead of block. Then I get to play a little game and see if I can guess which moron it is before I see the tag. Let’s see now… is this one “AI bootlicker,” “Horndog trying too hard,” “Breathing app shill,” “Is ‘nonce’ the right word,” or “absolute fucking moron?” Oh wait, it’s “credit cropping little bitch.”

    B__p moderates Dubai which is even more weird, the city known for its uncommercial stance on everything.

    Anyway, I’ve blocked that idiit. I ask the mods to ban them from the sub and add the rule that you are not allowed to crop out artists credits.

    I don’t know who that is, but if I could verify/clarify by looking at their post history, I’d probably block them if what you say is true… ohhhhh hey, looks like the dipshit himself commented on this very post like an edgelord and is conveniently the most downvoted comment.

    Joke with a message aside, I noticed I already had downvoted the guy multiple times before. Looks like he likes to post ai slop as well and becomes a combative baby bitch when called out. Even better, some of the ai slop uses the “hUmAn BaD” trope. And I did indeed check up on and confirm the cropping out artist credit. He’s a combative baby bitch when called out on that, too.

      he likes to post ai slop

      That’s an understatement. When Beep doesn’t crop out the artist, they literally recreate a worse version of the comic using AI and post that. Yeah…
