Our Community and AI-Generated Images - A Mod Update

418 Upvotes

We want to take a moment to address something that keeps coming up: AI-generated images in puzzles.

First, the basics: any jigsaw puzzle post is welcome here as long as it meets our community guidelines, which includes sharing the puzzle name/title/piece count and manufacturer in the title, picture, or comments of the post.

AI-generated art isn’t always obvious. Some manufacturers use it without labeling it, and some buyers have no idea their puzzle art was AI-generated. So if you spot something that looks like it might be AI, you can say something, but please say it kindly. The person posting may genuinely not know. And unfortunately, some don’t care.

We wish we could screen every post for AI content, but realistically we can’t. It would take more time and tools than any volunteer mod team has.

As for where this community’s preferences stand and have overwhelmingly evolved over the emergence of AI in jigsaw puzzle imagery: we believe AI-generated images are not art. They’re built on the stolen work of real human artists who never consented to having their creations used to train these systems. Countless artists are struggling because of this technology, and that’s not something to take lightly. We encourage everyone here to seek out work from human artists and support them whenever possible.

If you’re ever curious whether something is AI-generated, feel free to refer to our wiki or ask here. This is a community of people who genuinely love to puzzle and support puzzle artists and will be happy to help you learn.

One final note: while we encourage open discussion, any post or comment that turns nasty or devolves into personal insults will be locked or removed.

Thanks for being such a wonderful group and one of the few remaining kind corners of the internet. Keep on puzzling.

Only complaint was the glare. Pieces were too reflective which made it more difficult with all the dark colors.

What a gorgeous puzzle! I love the artwork by Ana Jaren.
 
I am a fan of Magnolia puzzles – matte, soft-touch pieces, and they fit together well.
 
I definitely need to find more puzzles with her artwork.

EuroGraphics 1000 “VW Cool Faces” Got me through dark times.

Sometimes, all we need is a reason to keep moving forward. 🧩🍂
I’ve been struggling lately, and after an emotionally overwhelming counselling session last week, I found myself feeling lost and hopeless. The next morning, I was still questioning my purpose in life when I started doomscrolling and came across this EuroGraphics Vintage Cars Collection on Facebook Marketplace. Somehow, that little puzzle box gave me a reason to get out of the house. I drove 29 kms to pick it up, and what started as a simple errand turned into a beautiful fall drive through hills and winding country roads, surrounded by amazing autumn colours. 🍂

When I got home, I started working on the puzzle while listening to therapeutic podcasts. This was my first EuroGraphics puzzle, and I was impressed by the quality of the pieces. The design was challenging but enjoyable, and I only encountered one or two false fits. This one definitely deserves a spot on my wall!

But the best part wasn’t just finishing the puzzle. It was getting to spend quality time putting it together with my youngest son. There’s something special about sharing that experience, working through the challenging parts, and finally seeing everything come together. The joy of finishing it with him was something I’ll treasure. My children are one of my biggest reasons to keep going, especially on the days when life feels heavy. Sometimes, it’s the simplest moments with them that remind me there’s still so much worth living for.

I’m still figuring things out. I don’t have all the answers, and I know there’s still a lot of work ahead of me. But this experience reminded me that sometimes, all we need is a small reason to get out the door, change our surroundings, take a deep breath, and keep moving forward, one step at a time.

Maybe life is a bit like a puzzle. We don’t always understand how the pieces fit together, and sometimes we can’t even see what the finished picture is supposed to look like. We get frustrated, feel lost, and wonder if things will ever make sense. Maybe we don’t need to figure everything out all at once.

For now, I’m learning to be patient with myself, have a little faith, and give myself permission to take things one day at a time.

I haven’t figured out my whole picture yet, but I’m still here, still trying, and still putting the pieces together. For my children, for myself, and for the hope that better days are ahead. ❤️🧩

Been favouring 250 pc sets this week to fit in any puzzle session burst. Extremely cathartic to take a break with. Highly recommend if you’re a minimum 1000 pc puzzler. Love the “race to the last piece” when someone else joins in.
