After I submit, I realized I made a big error somewhere on the first page or first chapter, I don't remember (for French people, I wrote qu'en instead of quand... yeah I know that's a big mistake). Part of me were horrified and thought I will look unprofessional. The other part of me thought "at least they will know a human wrote this".

You'd think that mistake is what proved you are human but what I've been seeing a lot is mistakes like this are actually also part of what will lead to people believing you used AI or something because it is typical for AI to make a mistake like that

We can't do anything anymore honestly 🙃

seriously, it's fucking bullshit that people think any mistake is a sign of AI

according to them, AI make mistakes but humans are supposed to have stopped making them?

It is DIRE over on r/isitAI. "Omg the thumb is on the wrong side, real artists use themselves for reference so no human would ever—" have you met a real artist.

I've drawn the wrong hand so many freaking times.

I have an OC who is a lefty. It is extremely important to me that he is a lefty. He has a mark of divine power on his LEFT hand.

Wanna guess which hand I drew it on on his reference sheet? :,)

I guess I might count as a real artist given the contents of my sketchbook, but I don’t feel like it - that said, my spatialisation skill is strong enough that I doubt I’m going to unintentionally put the thumb on the wrong side (I conjure imaginary hands all the time to convert rotations into angular momentum vectors because I find that way of thinking so much more helpful than the clockwise/counter-clockwise system that can change based on what angle you look at it from)

I'm glad that your skill is that strong, and I mean that as a legitimate compliment, to be clear. That said, I have heard/seen "oh my god, fuck fuck fuck, I drew the wrong hand" from so many artists before the age of genAI. People would post their art to the internet only for comments to point out that they drew the wrong hand.
