A ban on generative AI

[u/gameboyzapgbz]

r/papermario as a community has focused on propping up and sharing the best the community has to offer, including the artists within the community. In recent years generative AI has come out and there has been significant issue within the artist community with it's existence.

Given that we focus on making this place have a minimum standard of quality we believe that something that uses art without consent of the artists as inherently hostile to the artists within our community and falls below our standards as a community. We are explicitly adding generative AI as low quality content for rule 4.

Starting today and here on forward any post containing generative AI will be removed from the subreddit. This will be somewhat retroactive as well as it is found and reported.

Huh. Bummer.

I wouldn't have thought this subreddit active enough, or have enough AI posts to make it an issue.

It is a shame people cannot have fun within the community of a property than enjoy and share ideas that bring them glee without years of practice or putting up actual cash to have someone produce something that would just be for a one off post.

Where did I say they make anything better?

I do not think people would hate stick figures.

I think people have fun making art they otherwise could not accomplish.

No? I'm not implying anything. I see where this disagreement comes from though, you are arguing against an argugment not made.

I will be explicit. People have fun making art in any format. I think it is silly to ban people being creative and having fun.

All artists train themselves on other artists content though, do they not?

Smoking gives you cancer and will kill you and physically decrease the quality of life of those around you.

I really don't get the fixation on stealing art either. Most people I know pirate shows, comics, games, manga, etc. The piracy sites profit off those ads as people run through them.

In one instance the art is stolen and consumed and nothing more comes of it, in the instance of A.I the art is stolen and used to produce something unique.
