A while ago we had a post with a comic that was a bit controversial due to it being generated by genAI, but we did not explicitly have a rule against it.
We wanted to discuss this and ask the community, but this apparently had already been a topic on feddit.uk for awhile and they have made a instance rule about it (announced in this post).
Since buyeuropean community is on feddit.uk, the feddit.uk rules apply to this community and therefore I wanted to announce this new rule so it doesn’t come as a surprise.
Copy of the post body text from the announcement of this rule on feddit.uk:
So no:
- AI generated memes of images
- AI generated answers to questions
edit: this applies to feddit.uk communities, we won’t block AI art communities on other instances or sanction our users for posting on them.
Still disagree although I agree that is a very problematic aspect. I think the ai companies have been given too much freedom. I’m also fine with everybody choosing not to use it. I also agree artists were fucked over and deserve artistic credits and financial compensation, I will support them getting this. I myself have not generated an image that looks like something from Ghibli for example. But still, all things considered; I don’t think banning all ai generated content a reasonable thing to do. But that has more to do with my world view concerning individual freedom than how I view ai generated things and the behaviour of ai companies.
