I use an automatic script to download all the submissions that have the Collab tag.
The safest bet is to just not use AI.
I had the same question as CDV and I honestly think it’s a bit unfair if you’re only using AI to refine an image (as some of us don’t have the patience to learn how to use these art programs esp. if we don’t have art tablets). Even sorting through the results of an AI-assisted image takes at least some artistic judgment and eye.
Is it possible you could modify the code so that the AI filter has an exception if, say, the artist links the image they want on the Collab with the “unrefined” version to at least prove the artist made a substantial contribution to the AI-assisted image? Or is there still an intractable problem of attribution that even that protocol could not overcome?
