Have a look at "[this search":](https://derpibooru.org/search?q=artist:thisponydoesnotexist,-ts,-fs,-ry,-rd,-aj,-pp,-sg,-tia,-luna,-derpy,-not*). Today, 2020-07-17, you'll see it contains a lot of images that should be tagged @`fluttershy@`, @`twilight sparkle@`, etc. but aren't. I've tried tagging them, but it turns out that not everybody agrees on whether these images should receive the character tags.

This is due to thisponydoesnotexist being an AI (a generative adversarial network to be specific), and to the name of the site: "This Pony Does Not Exist"... if the pony does not exist, it cannot be a know character, and must be a new OC each time...

So yes, LightningBolt, I believe you should look into question (A), -- _*how do we tag images?_*

So here are two questions:

Note that in the case of (A2) we still need to decide if the person selecting the image in the pool generated by the AI has the value of an author, in the absence of any other author (yes (A2.1)) (no (A2.2)).

- (B) (from a more practical viewpoint) What should we do about the tagging conflict of the thisponydoesnotexist images?[/bq]

So yes, LightningBolt, you should thinlook a bint about question (A), -- _how do we tag images?_
