Let me ask you, what is it about the internet that makes you think it’s ok to be a rude asshole?
If we were at a table across each other, in person and I asked “is that AI art?” Would you respond the way you just did? Is it the lack of human in front of you that makes you respond like a petulant asshole? I simply asked a question and you’re behaving like a dirt bag
A closer analogy would be if we were at a table across from each other, in person, and you asked “where can I find a table around here?” In that situation as in this one, you might get some justified razzing in response.
The table would already be right in front of you and you would be actively sitting at it when asking where the table is. There’s nothing wrong with asking a question, even a silly one - inquisitiveness is good! - but if you want the person also sitting at the table with you to actively refrain from noticing the clear absurdity of the situation, that’s probably not going to be the easier path for most folks.
The comment to which you were replying was not only the name of the artist, but the link to more of the exact info you were asking people to give you. If the level of “nice” you generally expect from folks requires that amount of hand-holding, you may be inviting frequent disappointment for yourself.

Or you could just as easily point at a table for them. It’s actually easier to be nice.

I get it, you’re an asshole in real life too
