    To the several people who reported this post:

    This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.

    Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.

      There are ethical concerns with the use of AI, especially image generation.

      c/dogs has a strict no AI policy, and it seems to be appreciated by our users.

      This decision should be reconsidered and I would downvote if my instance allowed. Almost every comment is against it here.

        I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don’t otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.

        I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.

            There isn’t anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn’t what the community is about.

            If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it’d be fine for that post’s commenters to discuss pizza in general.

      This take is this community’s equivalent to the sole c/dogs mod (who very recently took over) banning people for putting up facts about pitbulls: pitiful

        It’s getting kinda good at the text isn’t it. Crazy compared to even half a year ago.

          I suspect the images were generated and then the text, chart, and framing were done by hand

            The text has an AI vibe to it, I can’t find the words for what tips me off when I see it

              It has inconsistent font weight from character to character. It’s easiest to see on the smallest finest characters.

    The people in this thread that ignore valid reasons for disdain towards AI are exhausting. “Just let me lol at thing and move on.” Me, I miss the days of even just drawing a meme up in MS Paint. I don’t want this Uncanny Valley dog shit. It’s not actual intelligence, it exists solely because of theft, and it’s ruining the environment.

        I don’t hate AI. I hate technology that disenfranchises workers, even moreso when they make a living from their art as I do.

          anyone who actually genuinely likes the technology should despise how it’s used, like how oppenheimer hated his work being used to vaporize people.

          we could be living in a world where models are exclusively trained on public domain content and things made by people who actively consent to it, but instead rich shithead techbros just blithely throw the entire internet at their massive server farms every week in the hopes that it’s 0.2% better this time

    Scrungus is my favorite, but he is absolutely not a friend. He is a menace.

    This portraits feel AI generated, there’s something off about them

    My stance is on AI is that generative AI being used to do all the work and stealing jobs is wrong but it can still be used as a tool to help workers get their jobs done faster

    I enjoyed the meme LadyButterfly. the Lemmy AI hate train has gone full circle-jerk meltdown with this one, sorry it happened to you. Thanks for the laugh.

      Thanks Smokey, I’m just sorry it got referred to the mods! It’s more work for them over a circle jerk

        No need to be sorry. I’d step down as mod if dealing with stuff like this was too much work for me.

        Plus this isn’t the first time a post with an AI image has gotten this kind of response. I just copy-pasted the same comment I made the last time this happened.

        You shouldn’t be sorry, you didn’t do anything wrong content wise. If anything you helped the community by sparking a important conversation leading to better defined guidelines which I imagine will be updated if this becomes a common enough issue.
