Our logo took 30+h of work.

It was drawn by human artists. We know who created it and an at-least time approximation of much time went into it. We stopped counting the work-time of the logo art after 30 hours. So it took 30+ hours.

For the art work has taken us an eternity of drawing with an additional pixel check and hunting down a few bad pixels that hadn't have quite the right color.

Facebook labelled it as AI-Generated.

Facebook simply stated AI-Content. We were shocked and it hurt us because all the time we've spent and pain we've gone through hunting pixels to an algorithm claiming it's AI-Content.

Fun fact: Instagram didn't tag the image as AI-Content even though the software comes from Meta too. We don't claim to know why the result differed but it shows perfectly how inconsistently those detectors work.

The fact that Facebook hides the heading "Content in this post may have been created with AI" shows how it hides that they back down on their own algorithm. There was no certainty. Facebook stated that allegedly their algorithm found something that it detected a "signal" of purely AI generated content.

First of all is a big AI-Content badge on the post just ridiculous without stating that it allegedly found something and therefore tagged it with a hidden subscript of "may have been". This hurts artists who put effort into the work, damages online presences and is a claim of provenance.

We do not accept such claims as it's a desecration of work and the effort behind that work.

Additionally audiences would believe such tags and would never dive into such a tag or think it may be wrong. This makes the algorithmic badge a false claim of provenance and since that may happen to any other work we decided to leave Facebook.

I need to add that such tags can lead to losing the audience's respect and rumors who make one's life unnecessary hard.

We will leave any platform that does similar automated AI tags because we can't bear the hurt of being questioned by algorithms all the time just because of our style.
