Currently it’s custom that there is no artist tag used for machine learning generated images, which is absolutely reasonable. This however has the unfortunate effect, that you can’t use the ‘watch’,‘spoiler’ or ‘hide’ tools with specific individuals, who use machine learning programs. I propose that as a substitute we introduce a “Dreamer” or “Prompter” tag. Insted of “artist:artistname” it would be “dreamer:dreamername” or “prompter:promptername”. What is your opinion on this?

People absolutely may add an artist:<?> tag to machine learning images if they wish.
It is a very good practice as it helps people filter and find that person’s work.
However - doing that does not mean that the artist has any copyright to the image.
In practice, someone whose artist tag only includes machine learning images won’t be considered an artist for purposes of verification, takedown, or badges. They can’t ask for a takedown of an edit of one of their machine learning images, because there is no copyright. And someone with only machine learning images is not able to ask for DNP on their tag - again, because there is no copyright.
This is how we have historically handled kisekae or artist:thisponydoesnotexist images, or similar images from other kinds of machine generated art.
So, let people tag the images with their artist tag if it helps people filter or hide them, or if people want to follow them.
But adding an artist tag to the image does not make the uploader of the image an artist in any traditional sense here, and it doesn’t give them access to any of the rights or features of the site that are reserved for verified artists.
It’s just a screencap as far as the site’s internal practices are concerned. And, for what it’s worth, remember that people also add artist tags to screencaps.
If it helps people search, filter, and watch the uploads by that person, then it seems a fine thing to allow.
