Isn’t it troubling that we have reached a point where we sometimes dismiss real art as AI, simply because we have so often been presented with AI as if it were real art? This is not just happening in 3D. Even with videos, I now find myself constantly wondering about everything I watch, is this real or is it AI? You can no longer fully trust your own judgment. And that is exactly why I think it is so important that all platforms, regardless of the field, handle this topic transparently.

There is growing frustration among users. It leads to heated and sometimes aggressive discussions across all areas, and not just because a product generated by a machine is being sold at the same price as something made by hand. I think these discussions also happen because people feel deceived.

Honestly, I would not spend 20 dollars on a package of textures that were most likely generated by AI, when I could either buy similar textures for 3 dollars on Etsy or create them myself using AI. It is also a matter of proportion. Selling an AI generated texture for the same price as, for example, a script feels quite audacious. But apparently, there is a market for it.

And let us not forget those who use AI to deceive other people, not only in terms of perception, but also to take their money.
