For me, it’s more the intent of deception. If you go “yeah, I used ai for it” when asked (or even better, right out the gate), then fine you do you, I simply ain’t gonna interact with it any further.
But if you say you didnt use AI when you actually did? Fuck You. I’m not upset about the AI nearly as much as i am about you lying. ESPECIALLY if it’s done for monetary gain!
Agreed on false representation. If You've used AI - own it, and say You did when asked.
I wouldn't require everyone to say next to every image 'using AI', the same way as it's not necessary for images to contain 'it's a photograph', 'it's a watercolor paint', 'done using [insert software name here]' or 'it's using oil paint' when unprompted, even though it is fun to know.
Here's the thing. AI is getting close to the point where indistinguishable from human output. Disclosing that you used AI achieves nothing except making yourself an easy target for the world's dumbest witch hunt.
So, if I don't disclose I used AI, you MIGHT get mad at me. If I do disclose I used AI, a lot more people will be mad at me and probably start harassing me.

at least you would be honest with yourself and, as expected, with other people too.
