Policy update regarding AI content

Healthy Clop

Since there is an upcoming deadline, I’m not going to read 30 pages to check this isn’t a duplicate:
I don’t suppose it would be possible to have the URLs for the removed images redirect to their tantabus.ai replacements?

I absolutely agree. Even when the generation reached an excellent level and there was a minimum number of corrections to remove errors, at the same time, people who drew without the use of AI sometimes posted dirty pictures drawn by someone else’s foot in the worst editor.
Has the same attention been applied to such pictures since the very foundation of the site?
And I also wonder who can’t put up with it and accept the fact that the era of images drawn by 100% man is gone. That’s it, forget about it! Not only will AI save you 90% of your time, but it will also significantly increase the quality of all artists’ drawings. The only thing that does not apply to the above is the paintings painted in real life. Paper and pencils/pistles/stuff are not affected in any way yet, which I am happy about, because this is something that people really try to work on and where it is impossible to save time.
Good luck.

Hell, I just finished writing a comment, went to the main page of the site, and saw low-grade slag there, which I just can’t even filter out, because there are no such tags for them. I hope starting from January 6, 2025 you will start at least modeling shit.

Assuming by ‘such pictures’ you mean machine generated images or similar sources, the answer is yes. Examples in the past have included this pony does not exist, kisekae, pony creator, etc:
This is why Rule #6 includes the line “Avoid uploading multiple similar images not made by an artist within an hour; this primarily affects unedited images from paper-doll / pony creator type generators, media and game screenshots with no qualitative difference between them
which I just can’t even filter out, because there are no such tags for them …
Please report one of the images you are talking about and we’ll look to see if there are missing tags, and will talk to the uploader.
Right now your custom hide filter is score.lte:-50. Please consider editing that to score.lte:100. Then you will hopefully see less of what you consider ‘low-grade slag’.

They already have one, but they’re using ‘-50’ as the vote threshold. Which means they’re basically ‘opting in’ to seeing anything that has a score greater than -51. I know that tastes are subjective, but for myself when I’m browsing the site on my own time I use score.lte:20 just to filter out most of the screencaps and ‘my first art upload’ images.

You can just -screencap to get rid of those, their score is absolutely never just under 20. Furthermore 20 as a posiutive limit will get rid of a lot of perfectly fine or good normal art that just so happened to score lower as it was OCs or less popular concepts, like basically all of my art for example. So I really do not understand or see a purpose to score filtering when filtering out specific disliked concepts is more practical and precise. What is ‘low effort slag’ to one person is of full interest to another and score will never indicate that as score is subjective. Tags are objective, or should be anyway. Score filtering will not get rid of ‘baby’s first art’ it will only ever get rid of less popular concepts.
I am not someone who cares about score, but the idea that someone is just filtering out perfectly fine art because it doesn’t meet a certain score threshold feels like there’s something wrong in how score is treated as a concept.
I know this is probably a bit unrelated, but score keeps coming up in here and there has never been anything about score that relates to quality.

The search by score system is neat but imo it’s so arbitrary that it doesn’t serve much of a purpose. Negative tags work way better, but filters are even cooler. I tend to do a lot of searches where I’ll have -[tag], -[tag], -[tag] (etc.) but it lets me see a lot of things I’d miss out normally on.
I personally don’t understand searching for downvotes or upvotes though - but I’m incredibly self-critical and depressive. The highest scoring things on the site are either porn or things waaaay beyond my powers to replicate… and more often than not are also art that doesn’t really appeal to me, because it’s sometimes generic. I suppose that’s a positive if not the point to it?
If anyone can explain a use for the score system and how looking up images via score > images via specific tags, I’m all ears, but otherwise I can only imagine it’s helpful if you’re like “idfc about what I want to see specifically”.

The bullet points:

  • New ai generated images will no longer be allowed on the site
    • That is, images created by AI with little or no human involvement, will be banned
    • This limit will be put into effect [December 14 2024]
    • ‘ai content’ images (which includes ai generated) have already been copied to tantabus.ai
    • ai generated images will start being removed after [January 6 2025]
Does this apply to previously uploaded AI images? Are AI images uploaded prior to December 14 free to stay or are they set to be deleted next year?

@Wild Stallions
Starting January 6, 2025 (probably UTC time), all ai generated images on the site will be removed. It may take some time for that to happen, but that is when it will start.
All of those images will have been transferred to Tantabus before the deletion here. The intention is that anything copied to that site from this one will remain (unless we missed something really egregious).

AI art is trash and I am glad to see less of it, but sad that any of it remains permitted.

Our contribution to AI here is extremely modest. For the most part all we’ve posted is original digital and vector art and comics derived from it. We have only two AI-generated humanized porn pics posted here, both of which have speech bubbles added and one has a non-AI generated background. Would these be protected under the new category of AI-composition?

For me it does, must be issue with your ISP.
Legally tantabus.ai is not on blocked sites list, just like youtube

u are noobs guys. I have a good idea for you
people who generates now-a-standart “quality” images are also freaks that checks a site often to see reactions
give them limited moderator rights about ai arts, when they approve new image - like 2-3 from 10-20 of overall new mods - only then image will be posted
hopefully u would be able to distinct good prompters from bad ones wont ya
