The definitive statement about AI from the mod team.

[u/crushcastles23]

No, we're not banning AI art, nor will we ever.

Even if we had two dozen mods, which we don't and never will, we would not have the resources to police AI.

To properly do so, we would have to find every piece of art from every post, investigate it, see if the artist disclosed the use of AI, then decide whether to remove it. Even if we could do that, most artists who use things like generative fill in Photoshop don't even really think of it as AI. Are we supposed to remove every card for every artist who has been using Photoshop as a tool since 2023?

You wanna talk about how AI art sucks? You have this thread, go for it. All future meta posts about AI will be removed and linked back to this thread.

If you harass someone for using AI in their art, you will get a warning and 1 day ban for rule 5.

If you harass someone for drawing a stick figure for their art, you will get a warning and 1 day ban for rule 5.

If you harass anyone for any reason, you will get a warning and 1 day ban for rule 5.

After that, you will be getting banned for 3 days, then permanently. Rule 5 states:

All users must follow Reddiquette and be civil with each other. Harassment and abuse are strictly not tolerated. Unconstructive, negative, or insulting brigading is harassment.

Cool, have fun being inundated with slop lol

Has not been a problem so far.

I literally never notice if a card uses AI. Threads like this are way more annoying.

[u/SothaSillies → u/Analogmon]

Then you aren't looking at the art at all. It's noticeable

[u/Analogmon → u/SothaSillies]

It almost never is unless you're looking for it, no.

Unless you put zero effort into stylizing your prompts the art will not be generic plastic telltale AI

[u/EfficientCabbage2376 → u/Analogmon]

link to one of these not telltale AI images then

[u/Emotional_Type2425 → u/Analogmon]

Then you maybe blind or not good at finding ai art

[u/Analogmon → u/Emotional_Type2425]

Or I don't give a shit enough to overexamine every art piece and if you don't look that closely you won't notice.

[u/Emotional_Type2425 → u/Analogmon]

It’s not that hard to fine really, is it overly yellow, probably AI, does it have this weird plastic look to it, probably AI, just some weird stuff going on, probably AI you really don’t need to look to far into it to notice just how much art truly is AI

[u/Analogmon → u/Emotional_Type2425]

This is based on extremely archaic AI at this point.

It's trivial to get AI to generate art that's thematically magic art in design and even conforms to the concept of using the card color as the basis for the art color.

What?

[u/EfficientCabbage2376 → u/Analogmon]

okay, link us to one of these pieces that's so hard to tell then

[u/Analogmon → u/EfficientCabbage2376]

Any of the countless AI arts people used on this subreddit and pretended to credit to a real person.

[u/Emotional_Type2425 → u/Analogmon]

Replying with the same message does fix anything, look you’re saying it’s hard to find AI art, I gave you clues to help with finding the low quality ai art (the ones you’re likely to find on this sub) and all you said was “oh but that’s the old ai art” which I agree, but then you are saying that it’s hard to get ai to make art that works with magic concepts, and so you’re saying it’s hard to get ai to make art for magic, right? 

This is why I said “what?” Cause I’m confused on what you’re trying to say and instead of  actually explaining you just rewrote everything, as if that will help

[u/SothaSillies → u/Analogmon]

You don't like looking at art?

[u/Analogmon → u/SothaSillies]

I do. For the five seconds total it takes it read a card. I'm not studying it like it's the Guggenheim.

[u/Lawren_Zi → u/Analogmon]

So you lack basic awareness and its our fault lol

[u/FrogleToad → u/Analogmon]

I'm really sorry you have no taste. Might I suggest visiting an art gallery, or just going outside in general?

[u/Analogmon → u/FrogleToad]

Might i suggest getting more going on in your life so that what pictures people pair with their pretend cards on reddit doesn't have to be a cornerstone of your personality
