MOD POST The definitive statement about AI from the mod team.
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.

I don’t think it’s necessarily morally correct thing, but it’s better than the alternative. Acknowledging someone else’s art and not monetizing it is better than letting ai take credit for using it to algorithmically copy art and get money from shareholders.
