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.

    Please don’t allow AI posts. If we start having AI posts this place will basically turn into a fan art page.

    No AI please - it just dilutes and lowers the overall quality of the community. I’d much rather a handful of genuine posts/comments from real people than a flood of hallucinations that range from being utter gibberish to making you question your own sanity.

    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.

    I remember the problem on reddit was people posting needlefelt dolls as real animals and that would piss everyone off. AI can be Aww, but it should be tagged as AI and be removed if not tagged.

    One per week per user for completely generated images.

    Filtering an existing photo is okay, but using multiple filters to post multiple images is not. Only one post per distinct source image.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    In my eyes, the question is more if this is even an issue. I mean, if this community gets flooded by AI stuff, it can be forbidden at any time, but as long as there is only the occasional AI post (that makes you go aww), why artificially (hah!) Limit ourselves.

      I think this is a healthy approach. Allow it (temporarily), make sure to maybe mark ai stuff and let’s see…
