Currently our rules do not specify for or against AI postings, simply if something “makes you go awww!” then it is welcome. Given that more than a few users have expressed that AI pictures should be limited to AI communities, do we as a community want to restrict AI posts?
Based on the general consensus users are leaning towards ensuring that AI posts are marked as such and to limit the amount of them. Adjustments to the sidebar rules will be made stating that AI posts must be labeled in the title as Lemmy does not currently offer a way to provide flair. If we see a significant amount of AI posts then we will reassess banning them from this community.
Yeah restrict AI posts. I think cuteness needs to have some notion of soul behind it to be cute and AI images are just creepy and soulless.
I think it should be restricted. However, if it’s decided to be allowed, it should be tagged as AI.
I don’t want to gatekeep what is and isn’t aww, but I definitely don’t appreciate the realization that something fake was slipped in right under my nose without warning. AI may be harder to get good results from than I imagine, but if it’s not being presented as exactly what it is upfront, it’s naturally going to fool a lot of people into thinking they’re seeing an extraordinary image.
Come to think of it, this doesn’t just extend to AI. If someone was trying to pass a photo realistic render or heavily Photoshopped pic off as real (and I mean on the level of replacing, grafting and moving parts of multiple images to make something that gets attention for how surprising or special it seems) then I would feel the same way about that. It’s about honesty. I want to see all kinds of mediums on here allowed to shine, but not if it’s done through obfuscation of the medium used.
And also, AI stuff just skeeves me out. I want to be able to filter it out, or just know that there’s a rule against it and another community for that content. There’s something deeply human and heartwarming about an “aww” to me, and if it’s not real, or at least presents itself honestly in a way I can appreciate the love that went into the craft, it’s no longer aww.
Perfectly said.
Please don’t allow AI posts. If we start having AI posts this place will basically turn into a fan art page.
I’m not a fan of Ai generated images as straight content, I’m a little more fine with the ChatGPT at work but even then that appears to be a bit of a gray area when it comes to the training data that any AI uses.
I’m gonna have to pass on AI content for the simple worry of the wrong type of content saturation.
Is there a way to have them marked as AI like NSFW, or some sort of hashtag? That Way people can easily filter them out if they don’t want to see them.
It’s fine as a concept, but I don’t really want my feed of actual aww-worthy images diluted with ai generated pics.
Echoing the sentiment of others, it should be restricted and/or tagged as AI. Preferably it should be limited to AI-specific communities.
