So no:

  • AI generated memes of images
  • AI generated answers to questions

edit: this applies to feddit.uk communities, we won't block AI art communities on other instances or sanction our users for posting on them.

Thank god. I appreciate the work you guys do here ๐Ÿซก

I asked the ChatSHiT degenerative AI what it thought about this and it told me to fuck off. Then it insulted my mum a few times, spilled my pint, asked me what I was going to do about it, and then just kept asking me if I was going to cry now.

So, yeah, I'm all for this new rule.

As a mod in a community from another instance that has to take the time to weed through content to determine if it is AI slop or not- I feel the pain you endured to reach this decision.

Well done and I hope to see more instances and communities flowing this.

I guess this is the end of the road for !aiart@feddit.uk - although it was kind of inactive anyway. I wonder if we'll remove posts retrospectively, maybe even both of them!

[โ€“] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, with it's whole 2 posts

[โ€“] Zip2@feddit.uk 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is a good thing, even if it means seeing more natural stupidity.

[โ€“] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 month ago

Oh I'd choose human stupidity over machine-generated nonsense any time!

To what extent? Like what about an AI generated humour/satire image in a comment section? I have a funny one of Vladimir Putin sitting on a naughty step

Anyway, I changed casualuk icon as it was an old 2023 AI generated image previously. I think we should work towards revamping other communities

That's a no for that. It's ultimately based on someone else's stolen work.

We would, I suspect, allow AI imagery in discussion about AI and what it us capable of but the days of posting it to laugh at the shitty results seems long gone. In recent examples, I couldn't tell by eye but I ran it through an AI checker which was pretty definitive.

Yeah, there's the odd community avatar we need to swap and we definitely need to give some of the communities a bit of a revamp as they were bodged together over a year ago, often in haste.

As part of this, I've offered to design logos for any community who currently have an AI logo, and would like a human-ish one.

[โ€“] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 1 points 1 month ago

Anyway, does small scale minor usage of images in a comment section count? I understand the ai generated response thing, as people come here to talk to humans, but I just want to know how strict this rule is

There will be tuts, shaking of heads and mild passive aggression, you mark my words.

[โ€“] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 9 points 1 month ago

We'll be sending Charlie round to give people a lecture on the importance of the arts, while munching on Duchy Original biscuits.

[โ€“] Emperor@feddit.uk 9 points 1 month ago

We don't get a lot of it on here. We'd just been asked for clarification on our AI policy after a meme or two popped up. This now means there isn't any ambiguity and the Mods can shut it down when they find it. AI checkers are quite and pretty definitive.
