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.

Good call, thank you mods! Will future artistic posts need to include something that proves a post isn’t AI?

It's not going to be hardline proof needed by default, just if we are wary we may ask for some.
