The weekend poll on the subject of banning AI-generated images is now complete, with 82 total votes. Of those, 62 were in favor of an outright ban, 15 in favor of allowing it with a special post flair, and only 5 in favor of the status quo. While the pool of voters is smaller than expected (presumably because most people are only checking here when horny and not really interested in voting on a poll), I think it’s still a sign that the majority of users here don’t want AI slop on this sub. Given this strong majority is in support of outright banning AI, I’ve decided to ban it entirely.
An important note about the new rules — we will not ban your account from here simply for posting AI images, but we will remove posts of them. I know a lot of people still don’t have a good eye for identifying AI slop (and that LLMs have gotten better at mimicking human artwork), not to mention a few popular “artists” whose work is actually lightly touched-up AI, so a lot of people who post it here are simply doing so out of ignorance.
