Banning AI Art

Thank you! I stopped using for a while because of the AI flood, now I can resume uploading again!

I know I'm late and too small But look at Wallhere and Smutty Not banning AI """Art""" leads to your site being completely overrun with the slop and even open to CSAM in the case of Smutty. You know how "That which allows porn will become entirely pornographic"? Well it literally goes the same for AI so unless you want facsimiles of xeroxes, ban AI. Wallpaper sites are always in a battle between coomers and normal SFW wallpapers. We don't need a third faction to tear the site apart.

That's what content filters are for. Nobody is fighting a purity war here, you can simply change the maturity filter to suit your needs.

While I understand & respect your desire to preserve the spirit of the "old internet" & protect a community of human artists, I think banning AI art outright is a short-sighted move that may ultimately limit the richness of creative expression rather than protect it.

First, AI art is not inherently antithetical to human creativity, it is a tool, much like Photoshop, digital brushes or 3D modeling software once were. Behind every AI generated image is a human making choices: about prompts, composition, curation, iteration & intent. To suggest otherwise is to deny the existence of hybrid creativity, which is where the future of art undeniably lies. You say you want to fight "enshittification," but censoring innovation because it challenges a traditional workflow could just as easily be seen as another form of cultural regression.

Second, banning AI art sends an exclusionary message to a growing wave of digital creatives who are embracing new tools not to replace artistry, but to amplify it. Some of these people are artists who can no longer hold a stylus due to disability. Some are storytellers using visual tools to explore new worlds. Others are experimenting in ways traditional tools simply don't allow. You’re shutting the door on them without distinguishing between spam & sincere expression.

Finally, there’s a practical danger in drawing a hard line here: the definition of “AI art” is already murky. Should it include pieces where AI was used in composition but finished by hand? Or where an AI helped conceptualize a sketch later turned into a painting? The line is blurrier than your policy admits, & enforcement risks being both inconsistent & unjust.

Rather than banning a medium, why not foster curation & transparency? Let users tag, filter, and follow what they want. Build tools to spotlight human created content without erasing everything else. Respect your users by giving them choice, don’t make that choice for them.

In the name of preserving the “old internet,” we should be cautious not to revive its worst tendencies: fear of change, knee-jerk gatekeeping, & elitism masquerading as authenticity.

You don't need to like AI art... but banning it altogether risks alienating people who are using it ethically, creatively & with heart.

Literally nobody cares about the middle school rant you just went on about how sad you are about this development. Go back to diddling yourself to the women you make up on ChatGPT.

Why intentionally cripple your site's popularity? Are we fighting windmills? AI is not going anywhere, and it's getting better every month, and I have no idea how you will know if it's AI-made or not. Who decides that?

I have seen so, so much bad art, screenshots of movies, and games. But are they okay because it's human slop? Why should they stay and AI go? Is it about ethics? People copy each other left and right, but nobody cares. A toggle was good enough, but clearly, people can't even tag properly. Create a system where people could vote for AI art to stay or be removed, so the best could stay.

And why look at the teeth of a free horse? Ads are never the problem; the problem is how site owners never know where to put them. Instead of one picture, there could be an ad. You don't need to go crazy with it, but additional money could be good for the site? No? I'm not an engineer regarding this.

you´re 100% right. But the owner choose to run with his head through the wall instead of creating a solution for everyone on this platform. YES AI is most of the times terrible. Its only sad that this decision was made from a personal grudge against AI.

You're a moron who posts AI generated women and thinks he "makes art". You're the actual lowest example of your species.

What a well reasoned critique that doesn't make you look like a child throwing a tantrum over AI

OMFG Thank you!!!!! I will report every A.I. work I see! A.I. can stick to math/science, leave it out of art! I honestly feel sorry for the people that are actually upset about this. A.I. has no place in art!

Art - the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects.

Plenty of screenshots being posted, and other 'art' - no way is all this anime stuff being created by artists Low-effort pointless crap At least some AI art looks decent
