just wanted to ask why? Was my art too bad? I don't think it broke any other ToS and got deleted with AI as reason. But here I am searching "AI-generated" and get about 1000 results. Is the ToS part regarding the "indistinguishable from drawn art" what made them delete my art?

EDIT: I'd love to search the forum but search seems to be broken. So I'll have to ask without knowing if the topic has already been discussed. Sorry.

This is a lovely thread to understand why it probably got deleted: forum #6741

I checked your uploads. They have many issues, and they got deleted because of them.

The tag counter includes deleted posts. There have been 1024 posts tagged as AI-generated, but currently only 38 (less than one page) actually remain on the site. The rest of those 1024 (and many, many others that weren't tagged as AI) have been deleted.

Yes, both artifact-ridden AI generated images and photorealistic loli images are forbidden from the website.

Also it's pretty NSFL for some of us, you know.

It’s kinda scary how fast AI art has advance in such little time.

As AI video creation advances it's going to even scarier. There's a lot of ways to abuse that. Someone could create a fake sex video of another person and use it to blackmail them, whether for money or forced sexual favors. People could create fake videos of actual news events, making it appear something entirely different happened. It's going to be a huge, huge mess, but there's no putting that genie back in the bottle. I pity anyone who's in the public eye a lot, as they're going to be the biggest targets for it.

I'm worried about how this will affect teens and preteens and grateful I'm not one having to grow up with this. There's already been issues with fake AI-generated porn being made of girls and shared among the boys at schools, including some attempts to blackmail some of the girls. (Oddly enough the first one I read about the guy was trying to get money from her instead of sex. It failed, she told her parents and they went to the cops. The guy might be a minor but he's probably ruined his life anyway.) When any preteen or teenager can make a fake porn video of a classmate that's difficult to tell is fake it's going to be a fucking disaster for victims to deal with.

I'm not some total anti-AI-art person, I'm just technically inclined enough to see the dangers that are awaiting and have no clue how society is going to deal with them. The population in general is not prepared for this.

You saw the stuff that Sora AI can generate?

It is scary good, and we're so fucked.

I saw the following pop up today while browsing:

His older "work" was all standard fare AI crap - too shiny smooth and that "look" that last year's AI had. But recently he's posted art like above, and I honestly can't tell if this is just a much better model or manually redrawn/retouched with an AI base. Some are tagged AI, some are not. Some (like www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/115523330) are both obviously AI (tagged as such) and yet hand-retouched afterwards (changes to the rips and sleeve).

There's a couple dozen more images of similar quality to what's posted above - if this is considered legit I'll upload and tag them, but if it's considered ai-generated and going to be deleted then I won't bother and save y'all the trouble of cleanup.

AI assisted stuff can stay if it is done really well.

I wouldn't say that,let's give it another millenium and 5 centuries worth of advanced IT and software engineering to get it right,for now,it's just for those paid-for "artists" who prefer selling out their passion for that 5 seconds of childish attention and entitled egoism.
