Yet I’m using AI-created illustrations for my graphic novel, fully aware of copyright and legal debates.
Both Copilots and art generators are trained on vast datasets—so why do we cheer one and vilify the other?
We lean on ChatGPT to rewrite blog posts and celebrate Copilot for “boosting productivity,” but AI art still raises eyebrows.
Is this a matter of domain familiarity, perceived craftsmanship, or simple cultural gatekeeping?
Personal attacks like this are not OK on Hacker News and we ban people who do it repeatedly.
Please have a read of the guidelines and make an effort to adhere to them in future.
Not my site, so please ban my account.
Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."
Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.
Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.
It should be clear that this kind of conduct is not acceptable. We're not banning you, we just need you, like everyone, to keep to the guidelines.
Is that a personal attack? Is that against the guidelines?
I'm not interested in being a part of a community that finds my previous post objectionable. What I said was true and needed to be said. It wasn't kind, but the OP did not deserve or need kindness, he needs a reality check.
> It should be clear that this kind of conduct is not acceptable
It isn't.
