Honestly, for a community (lemmy) that wanted to get away from corporate stuff (reddit) it pains me to see how even the most basic thing to draw is being delegated to Ai (corporations).

I have no clue what about this makes everyone call it out as AI, and there's have been many such instances of this happening with me lately.
