Banning AI Art

I don’t really agree with the decision to ban AI-generated images just because they’re seen as “stealing” from other artists. I get that there are real concerns around ethics and who owns what, but applying that logic to a wallpaper aggregation site like this feels a bit inconsistent to me.

Instead of going straight to a full ban, it might make more sense to push for clearer labeling, better guidelines, and more open discussion about responsible use. That way people know what they’re looking at, whether the image was made by a human, AI, or a mix of both.

I disagree with you.

1. AksumkA made a decision to stop AI art because it is getting worse, as his statement said: "We're banning AI art starting June 28th. Fighting back against enshittification as best as we can."

2. Making a label or better guideline does not help to stop AI overload on the latest wallhaven as well as hot and toplist. It's too much work for them, so it's better to not have them on it, but you can still look back on AI art from the past.

What about AI upscaled images?

Many modern upscaling techniques use AI in one way or another these days. The quality of the image is judged individually, if in the end it doesn't have signs of low quality it's good.
