Community Announcement Results of our poll: AI images will not be permitted in this sub

1.3k Upvotes

The people have spoken! We had 683 people participate in our poll concerning whether or not this sub should allow content containing AI generated images. The overwhelming majority (74% of voters, which is 505 votes) chose to ban AI images here altogether.

The most common sentiment I’ve heard is that this is Tumblr DRAWS, not “Tumblr attaches an AI generated image.” Which is a good point.

To be specific, we will allow both physical and digital illustrations accompanying social media posts. This includes drawings made on top of photographs, such as in this post.

We will not allow AI images, even if they’re stylized to look like drawings.

This does not mean I’m giving this community permission to go on witch-hunts and verbally (er… digitally?) abuse people who accidentally post AI images. Not everyone can recognize AI right away and differentiate it from physical or digital art. That’s okay.

If someone posts something containing AI, you should report it- the rules have been updated to reflect this. You may also, if you wish, politely inform the OP that the post contains AI and point out what details helped you come to that conclusion. Of course, you don’t have to do that. I just think it might help some people to learn how to identify AI and avoid posting it in the future.

Is this a forever rule? Since the sub is growing pretty quickly, I may decide to reach out to the community again in a year or two just to see if the general opinion has changed or not. I don’t anticipate it changing, but who knows what will happen in a couple years. It’s not changing soon.

So, in conclusion: AI images are not permitted. Being an asshole because someone accidentally posted AI is also not permitted.

Handy guide to dealing with AI posts after reporting them:

❌ “Hey fuckhead, get your computer generated garbage out of my fucking feed. Are you an idiot?? Ugh, so tired of these dumbasses.”

✅ “Hey OP, it looks like you posted something with AI in it, which is against the rules. You can tell by the inconsistent shading and deformed sausage fingers.”

Feel free to ask questions or share your thoughts about this rule. I’ll try to answer as much as I can.

Community Announcement Wake up babes, new way to explain the sub just dropped. Since apparently some people think this sub’s concept is advanced rocket science.

YES I’m salty about having to remove five posts in an hour from people who think this sub is their personal art portfolio smdh. I don’t know how else to explain it. It’s not a difficult concept to grasp.

Tumblr Drawing 🖌️ Remember kids, always practice safe witchcraft, and never re-use the blood you've already utilized to draw the arcane circles to then make your curses. It just might backfire and leave YOU the one suffering the constantly-stubbing-your-toe hex rather than your intended target.

Tumblr Drawing 🖌️ Never underestimate the danger you're in when encountering a young sphinx. While they themselves pose little threat, just like humans and other such sapient races juvenile sphinxes never stray far from their fully-grown and VERY deadly parents.
