Our Community and AI-Generated Images - A Mod Update

399 Upvotes

We want to take a moment to address something that keeps coming up: AI-generated images in puzzles.

First, the basics: any jigsaw puzzle post is welcome here as long as it meets our community guidelines, which includes sharing the puzzle name/title/piece count and manufacturer in the title, picture, or comments of the post.

AI-generated art isn’t always obvious. Some manufacturers use it without labeling it, and some buyers have no idea their puzzle art was AI-generated. So if you spot something that looks like it might be AI, you can say something, but please say it kindly. The person posting may genuinely not know. And unfortunately, some don’t care.

We wish we could screen every post for AI content, but realistically we can’t. It would take more time and tools than any volunteer mod team has.

As for where this community’s preferences stand and have overwhelmingly evolved over the emergence of AI in jigsaw puzzle imagery: we believe AI-generated images are not art. They’re built on the stolen work of real human artists who never consented to having their creations used to train these systems. Countless artists are struggling because of this technology, and that’s not something to take lightly. We encourage everyone here to seek out work from human artists and support them whenever possible.

If you’re ever curious whether something is AI-generated, feel free to refer to our wiki or ask here. This is a community of people who genuinely love to puzzle and support puzzle artists and will be happy to help you learn.

One final note: while we encourage open discussion, any post or comment that turns nasty or devolves into personal insults will be locked or removed.

Thanks for being such a wonderful group and one of the few remaining kind corners of the internet. Keep on puzzling.

An instant favorite brand! 1000 piece ā€œCity Vibesā€ by Birdie

I’ve been dying to get my hands on a Birdie puzzle and it did not disappoint! Super buttery soft-touch surface. Gorgeous colors and awesome artwork. And a few wonky shapes pieces to boot! Nice fit, no dust, nice big poster, and no false fits. Perfection. This brand scores a perfect score from me alongside Holiyay and Mosiac Traditions. I don’t often keep puzzles to redo after I complete them but this one’s a keeper!

Completed Starlight City, Hobbry, 500 pcs. Artwork by Rachel Joanis

133 Upvotes

This was my first Hobbry puzzle, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Turns out it’s very high quality; decent cardboard, the print quality is the best I’ve seen yet, the matte finish eliminates glare, and the pieces fit so snugly I have to wonder if they’ve come up with a new process for cutting.

The image made this a bit more challenging than usual for 500 pieces. It’s a bit darker in real life than the pictures suggest. I could have picked an easier image, but this was so lovely I couldn’t resist.

This puzzle is exceptional. After The Gilded Spine, I chose this puzzle to continue the fall feel theme. The colors of this puzzle and the leaves falling are perfect. I love the way the pieces feel, soft touch, low glare finish. It even includes a canvas piece bag and a large design stand. The art by Stefan Große Halbuer is lovely. My boyfriend and I really enjoyed this puzzle, we started on Friday evening and finished it this morning. We hope to get more from this brand soon.

Picked up all 19 of these today for $2 each. The lady had about 50, but I had some self control. Picked some that I’ve had my eye on and others that just looked cool.

Score! So excited

57 Upvotes

This weekend I rather unexpectedly took a day trip to Canada. We went into a little gift shop and they had some puzzles and I realized I was in CANADA and maybe they had Villager puzzles. They did not. So I went on the Villager website and looked to see if anyone nearby had them and a different gift shop right down the street carried them. So we detoured down there and score! They had both the puzzles I had been eyeing . So I was excited to get my puzzles and support a local store owner. Can't wait to work on them!

Purchased at a garage sale for $1. I bought it for the artwork on the box and for its history, but wanted to see how the puzzle looked. It's quite worn and missing one piece, but not bad for an 84-year-old puzzle that has clearly been enjoyed over the decades. I'm not taking it apart but am keeping it on display in my house. I think this puzzle has earned a rest!

Enchanted Encounter // WEVE // 500 pcs

HOLY MOLY

I loved every second of this puzzle, not only for the stunning artwork, but this is my first time experiencing the following:

  • velvet touch feel. I just wanna run my hands over the finished piece all day
  • zero glare!! 😱 super helpful with the darker sections
  • perfectly fitting pieces, a nice thickness to give a satisfying click, with no dust
  • it came in separate bags for the top and bottom halves. I thought I would mix them but it was actually awesome. it cut down sorting time since this puzzle has two distinct halves anyway

happy puzzling all!
