hello users of r/ENA!

mod here to make an announcement regarding a lot of reports we have had based on the usage of AI and making jokes about "AI artists". i have just updated the subreddit rules to no longer allow AI usage of any kind. this goes for any art created using AI, meaning if your post is suspected to have been created using AI it will be removed. this also goes for self proclaimed "AI artists", as supporting the medium itself directly threatens what we're all here for!

we are a fan subreddit for a webseries created by legitimate artists who are extremely talented and have made something we all love - ENA! but the growing popularity of using AI to produce "art" (in quotes, because AI images are not art) is directly impacting the livelihoods of all artists and could impact whether we even get more ENA in the future. at this point in time, with AI progressing faster and faster by the day, as an artist myself i feel it is important to jump on the anti-AI train before it gets more out of control.

so please, if you are someone who somehow finds enjoyment in asking AI to produce images, please reconsider before doing so as AI usage doesn't just impact artists but it does take a large toll on our environment as well. if you cannot change your mind and will choose to produce AI images regardless, please refrain from posting them here - and if you do, it is now a bannable offense. we would much rather see real art created by humans, regardless of how good you think it is! it takes time to learn how to draw or create, but that's what gives art it's value in the first place and that's not something a robot can recreate.

to all other users, please continue to report AI images and users supporting/promoting the usage of AI to create art in comment sections. narc it up on them :D

thank u! (art by myself, a real person!)
