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.

What a load of nonsense. AI can't even draw a hand without six fingers half of the time.

none of the links I posted on page 10 had 6 fingers, you're behind the times.

---lots of nonsense--- If it were truly superior: -raw outputs would be consistently elite -prompting wouldn’t matter cherry-picking wouldn’t be required But it does. Every time. AI didn’t surpass artist, it parasites their solutions, rolls the dice millions of times, and shows you the best accidents.

Just like every artist only produces masterpieces and never sketches that land in the trash bin... Nevermind AI art, you have no clue about human artists at all.

Truly facepalm worthy behavior.

Which sites offer similar with AI art allowed? I used this site because I can filter by aspect ratio, resolution (including 'at least' setting) and then SFW, NSFW and various tags all at the same time.

This anime goon slop is so bad. You genuinely can't see past anything vaguely resembling a tit, can you?

10/10 decision.
