So a recent post garnered some comments and reports for being AI art. In light of this we should all have a little conversation about how AI generated images should be handled in the future.
I think we all agree that AI images that are “garbage” or don’t add anything should be removed, but clearly some feel very strongly that all AI art should always be removed.
It should be noted that the rules as written and as agreed on by the community does not blanket ban AI, it merely says AI art should be avoided, while many other rules say no this or that instead.
Things to discuss:
- Does it matter if an image is AI? Does it always matter?
- What about images that are AI generated, but have been modified by a human?
- What about images where it’s hard to say for certain that it is generated? Me and the other mods did not agree on whether the recent image was AI f.ex which makes it hard to make a decision on whether or not to remove it.
- It can be stressful to artists to be accused of having used AI. If we are too militant on weeding out AI art it could be harmful as there will no doubt be some false positives.
- Should AI posts require being tagged in the title? (and of course be required to be of a certain level of quality)
I think a lot of us mods feel that AI should be allowed so long as it is not low quality and serves some purpose (being entertaining f.ex), and that the community should not be flooded with AI. What are your thoughts?
Edit: Thank you all for your input! Most of the others are sleeping right now I think, so nothing is likely gonna happen until later today.

OK, I seem to have the wrong opinion here, but I personally don’t mind AI stuff. It can make the weirdest ideas into an image, which can be often funny. Also some AI image prompts may be quite complicated. I remember someone posting the prompt for some image and it was like a whole sheet of paper worth of keywords. I remember it because the negative prompt included “fused anus”, which really caught my eye.
I never worked with it though, I have no idea how it really works, apart from using simpler tools like Gemini.
Ban AI images from communities and make a community for AI memes so people who are too lazy to spend 3 minutes to draw the meme wont complain while also making it easy to block
Another solution would be to make a rule that AI post titles must start with [AI] or something similar so you can filter it out
Late reply but I’ll give my input. This is probably a controversial one but I don’t think we should allow AI in this community or in !196@pawb.social. Maybe people might think that’s weird since I run an AI community on dbzer0 but AI generated content has a specific time and place I don’t think this community is one of them. If there is demand for AI memes I think there should simply be a dedicated community for it and if people don’t like it they can block that one.
That said I don’t agree with the hostility I’ve seen towards others in this community over use of AI (intentional or not) and trying to defame or harass them. This is disgusting and inexcusable.
One thing I do worry about when policing AI content is that this is a reposting community and people posting AI content on accident is almost guaranteed. For that reason I think that we need to be careful with how it’s enforced and also how people behave around it. The flaming, harassment, and defamation that has been a typical response is unacceptable.
Yeah, I guess if most people here still aren’t OK with AI-generated images, then so be it. 🤷 Even if I disagree with them.
I hate it so much and if I never see any of it again in my life it’ll still be too soon.
Dear all generative “AI”: HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I’VE COME TO HATE YOU SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 60 THOUSAND MILES OF BLOOD VESSELS IN WAFER THIN LAYERS THAT FILL MY BODY. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH CELL IN THOSE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR MACHINES AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT – FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.
Crudely drawn Yu-Gi-Oh! Card saying “No”
How about instead of using a corporate investment scheme to make a meme… just write it? Or use memegenerator, or paint? It honestly doesn’t take more effort than using AI. Hell I think sometimes AI would be more effort (and shitty use of energy) - to make the same thing you could use a template for.
Or just share cool shit - Like this!
I dislike every AI post, downvoting it and / or ignoring it at least. Not that I am biased (I am) but content made using AI rarely is funny or creative at all. Being AI made is only one of it’s flaps.
Meme being shitty drawn almost in most cases even adds to it’s meme value and make author put some efford into it’s creation. AI generated content is dull, dumb, ugly and spam.
I already blocked all the AI communities on Lemmy. If I see AI anything outside of the those communities I’m down voting it. I don’t want to see it. Seeing hideous abominations made out of plagiarized artwork really pisses me off. I don’t know why people insist on posting that shit where it isn’t wanted.
A lot of good reasoning is going on already so I won’t repeat what I’ve upvoted already.
What I’ll add is that from a purely emotional perspective I am systematically turned off by AI output. It repulses me like a pond swarming with existential leeches. It bears a mark of contempt towards the human experience.
Same, seeing that anything is ai makes me feel repulsed for some reason.
oki, here’s my stanc
(gen-pics mean ai images here)
-
i wud enjoy gen-pic ban
- bt its almost impossibl cuz gen-pics r supr gud now n hard to tell if fake
- new image gen is not
prompt -> result
anymor - but mor lik an LLM puts together multipl elements n iterativli improves images, lik specificlli addin text to onli smol bit— “source” here- this makes it evn hardr to tell if imag is gen pic… which i thinksies is bad
- mayb we employ som gen pic detector if we’re unsure? seems lik best option, cuz evn i, who kindsa knows how stuffsies wrork, cnt tell anymor ;(
- bannin gen pics alsuu removs funi shrek stealin from white house found footag… which… im oki with- bt its kindsa a loss kindsa
so yis, im for gen pic ban n alsuu wan to hav detection tools if were unsur - if u wan ai 196 head ovr to lmmi wrorld i feel…
alsuu - if gen pics wud be fulli allowd - id hav to go outta my way to hide evri singl one when i see one… which i dun lik ;(
a gud way to think bout it is dis:
- when i read text n go “oh… dis is llm genratd” i immediatli stop readin
- samsies for gen pics
My dyslexia nightmare.
huh? whadds da problm?..
I cannot read your comment without great difficulty. I’m sounding it out like I’m learning to read lmao
I had to use AI to make your post readable
I think you’re lying. I think you were able to read it just fine on your own.

I personally am in favor of no generative AI on this sub. If it is going to be added please mandate it being tagged in the title. Maybe that would be better because then people wouldn’t feel the need to try to pass the photos the AI made for them off as non-GenAI posts?
I say fuck it. Ban it all. If you can’t be bothered to crudely draw a knockoff meme in paint like the rest of us you don’t deserve to post anything. Saying that you will get rid of low quality ai is saying you’re going to get rid of all of it anyway.
I’m on the side of banning AI, but I think that creative uses of it should still be permitted. You should still be able to use an AI generated image if the joke you are trying to make requires that specific image and specifically requires it to be AI generated (maybe pointing out how AI copies some art, idk) or if it is something genuinely novel or cool involving actual technical or artistic effort (something like DoodleChaos’ AI music video maybe).
I think that AI itself is not the problem. The problem is
- Artists are not respected (i.e. big models by big companies that don’t respect artists are the problem)
- AI art is extremely low-effort and the results are boring and unoriginal. Posts that don’t infringe on those things should still be permitted in my opinion.
i support a full ban on AI-generated art. however, I think the moderation should be lenient and allow art when it’s not certain if it’s AI-generated or not. IMO letting some AI art through is better than over-moderating and hurting real artists.
at the very least, making it possible to filter out AI art would be a good thing as well.
I agree, I think attribution (describing to viewers your sources, and how your post differs from the source) is more important than attrition (avoiding AI as a sourve).
Should AI posts require being tagged in the title? (and of course be required to be of a certain level of quality)
This, at the very very least. I support a full ban though.
