That’s assuming OP tags it as AI, though. I don’t have that much faith in the people who would spread AI slop in the first place. It’s a nice feature, and I’m not shitting on it, but it’s less impressive to me once I factor in the human equation.
Or can mods apply the “AI” tag to it? I still need to at least try Piefed.
Admins can apply an AI tag to communities (including remote ones on Lemmy instances) and then all the posts in those communities automatically get the AI tag. Same as NSFW.
I was trying to figure out how this works.
I work in marketing. My job hires a lot of contractors whose goal is to post garbage all over the internet to shit on our competitors, and promote the company. Real humans who post on Reddit in a specific shadowy way.
I have no doubt in my mind that they use AI.
@VitoRobles how do you sleep at night?

Though exactly like NSFW/NSFL and bot posts (which people avoid so replying can feel like a honeypot experience where a conversation was invited but unlikely to be fruitful, since even the poster themselves will never read your message), it’s not only the item itself but rather the lack of proper labeling. AI slop could arguably, theoretically, for some people (I’m trying to frame this so as to lessen the chances of being flamed here!) be enjoyable, but cannot be acceptable in the wider community unless properly labeled. This “restriction” enables us to be more fully free to have our own enjoyment of this shared space.
Edit: for context, I had not even gotten to the existing flame war down below your comment yet, but somehow I knew it was coming! The Threadiverse seems to love to hate on AI almost as much as Windows and tankies!:-P (and ironically all for the same underlying reason: because consent should matter, even/especially when others say differently)

The Lemmy devs are not very active in the commits…

I mean… good luck with that, but feature requests languish for years on Lemmy, I wouldn’t hold my breath.
For now, there’s only the option to ban / block people submitting it. I doubt that will change anytime soon.
GenAI is somehow more blatant about ripping people off than EL James of all people was when she ‘wrote’ Fifty Shades in airquotes.
At least she had to change some things around in her godawful recycled fanfic to keep from getting sued for copyright, GenAI doesn’t even do that much and that’s somehow viewed as acceptable.
Oh, and EL James only ripped off one person with her trash, GenAI blatantly and shamelessly rips off everyone.
People do not respect artists and with the internet and digital art making it the easiest time in human history to get art, people feel entitled to art. They don’t respect the time and effort that artists put into creating something and don’t think that their skills are worth paying for, even when they’re demanding that they produce content for them.
In this regard, GenAI has become a real plague because the kinds of people who would make great middle managers - taking credit for the effort of others - now have access to the skill required to make “good art” without having to pay for nor respect the labor required. GenAI lets your average person treat artists the way that corporations treat their employees.
The best and most basic way to fight that, at least as a hobbyist, is to just keep handmaking stuff like you’ve always done before GenAI became a blight on the creative world, that way you’ll at least hold the line on some metric, plus making stuff is still fun, particularly with traditional media, (paints, crayons, etc, whatever your jam is) regardless.
Block ai content posters. Starve them and they stop
i should try piefed
I wouldn’t call anything I’ve ever seen on lemmy art. Maybe like2 the photos of actual art.
Never seen someone tell on themselves like this so hard
There are dedicated communities where people post their art?
How many art communities do you follow?
