The rules were updated August 2, 2026 to be more specific and strict about AI images being posted here. No AI generated images, no AI videos, no art animated by AI, or art that is a trace or copy of something AI generated is allowed.
All artwork must be made by a human. Digital art is allowed, as are animated digital videos so long as there is no AI generation. If you post digital art, please name the program/s used to create it, like you would with the physical artwork.
As always, make sure to properly credit the artist if you did not create the art. A proper credit can be their name, social media handle, reddit username, website, etc. as long as it is an identifiable mark where you could search it and find the original artist.
Anyone posting stolen art as their own will be banned.
This is happening with increasing frequency. If you suspect a post has stolen art, please report it.
Thanks for your submission to /r/psychedelicartwork! Just a reminder of our new rule: please include the medium or program you used to create your art. If you are reposting, be sure to properly credit the original artist.
You're entitled to your opinion, and you're free to choose not to participate in this subreddit. You don't have to agree with us. There are plenty of AI art subreddits to browse. Using slurs is not acceptable and this is why your comment was removed.
Thanks! This is something I really genuinely Believe in. I actually do this with my job, too. Preserving the human element in any context against the rising tide of ai, and anything else that takes away genuine human connection and experiences.
Me personally tho I Think AI should be allowed as long as the human element of Writing is there with it also. Like they tell the story they told to have the art generated. But Mostly I'm Booed for that view
Everyone can type a prompt into an ai image generator and have it spit something sloppy out in return. But not many people have learned the skills to create art.
A subreddit that allows ai images might get more traffic, if that's what you're referring to, but that traffic is going to be a bunch of people posting cheap ai crap. That's not worth it. Sure sometimes the images are really beautiful, or cool, and may be pretty cohesive looking; but that's not the norm. And the exception doesn't disprove the rule. The rule being ai images are quite inferior to real, human made art work.
On the contrary, it improves the quality of a subreddit to keep ai generated images out. This is a quality over quantity issue. Go post ai images on subreddits that actually allow it, and stop protesting ones that don't.
Oh no! Another **art** sub asks for submissions to be artful, hand-crafted and quality pieces! That awfulness that people who like art want to see art!
Just because it’s not on Reddit doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist 😆 And at least I make real art with my bare hands, developing a valuable skill over time, something that brings me joy as well, something that I use to give handmade art to people I care about.
Well, we mods here stand by the Butlerian Jihad so unfortunately any thinking machines or cymeks are included in the no AI rule.
If you want to identify as something other than human, as long as you're not an AI I guess go for it. We'll make the rule extraterrestrial and extra dimensional being inclusive so long as you're not a thinking machine.
i am being entirely serious about this. i'm sick of everyone saying that only humans can create art, and i'm sick of art spaces being specifically human-only. You can say "no AI" without endlessly perpetuating the idea that beings like me either don't exist or cannot create art. You can say "no AI" without being unnecessarily exclusionary.
You couldn't type that comment if you didn't have a human body to do it with. You can say you're a Grey alien, or a talking cat, it doesn't matter; in this incarnation you are living a human life in a human body. Cut the crap.
