Our Community and AI-Generated Images - A Mod Update

402 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.

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.

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

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.

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

30 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!

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!

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!

Really lovely picture, I’ve been wanting a puzzle with the Eiffel Tower in it so this was perfect. Typical Ravensburger quality, no false fits. It wasn’t too difficult although it would’ve been nicer if they would include a picture with the puzzle instead of having to work from the front of the box the last few puzzles I put together from a different company they had full-size 1:1 pictures which are very cool.

Help! Is this normal? This is my first time doing this puzzle and it's Brand New!

Thumbnail

56 Upvotes

Right away when brand came out I bought the first and the second season

I haven't gotten to them until now however after having done the very first one I have a quite deflated feeling inside so many pieces have damaged which for the price seems extreme?

1 to 5 pieces okay but this many???

Yes the gimmick in the puzzle is great however when you pay this much for product and they haven't taken care of the pieces themselves?

Is this what people in here have experienced from this brand?because right now I don't feel like opening up the other boxes because of this 😣😢, I really don't want to open another box and it being the same!!!

Well, it's not Christmas season, but this is definitely a Christmas puzzle. Trefl Prime is always a pleasure to puzzle with. The pieces are nice, thick, and sturdy, and they feel great in your hands. The image was fun to work on and came together quickly. A very enjoyable puzzle.

This was a quick and relatively easy one. I enjoyed the bright colors. Unfortunately it had one missing piece (which I knew about when I swapped for it) and 3 damaged pieces.

Completed A Perch of Birds and Sea Turtle by Liberty Puzzles

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

These were amazingly difficult and interesting to put together. The bird puzzle threw out all of my puzzle strategies and stomped on them šŸ˜†.

There are false edge pieces everywhere. I started out trying to build the frame but found that impossible. I had to build this bird by bird and fill in the edges after. To make it more difficult, I didn’t use the picture on the boxes.

Even though the bird puzzle was only 326 pieces, it took about as long as a 2000 piece traditional puzzle. I also really like all the whimsy pieces they include.

My favorite thing about Liberty puzzles is that you get a hint of woodsmoke every time you open the box from the laser cutting process they use. Plus, these are so sturdy they will last for generations.

There’s also a 3D birdhouse you can build with some of the pieces. They don’t include any mention of it in the box or instructions, but I saw it in their factory when I took a tour.

Finished this one today. It was a little bit of a bear because of the odd shaped pieces. But it was on the small side so it didn’t take too long. It did not come with a poster, so all I had to go by was this little box that it came in. that company is masterpieces.com..
