Hello! This will be the first of our weekly discussions. This thread will be pinned in the local timeline all week long and I hope that everyone feels encouraged to voice their opinion.

This thread will be locked after a week. Make sure to join the discussion in time!

This weeks topic is: AI “art” and its impact on the furry fandom and artists.

Here are some guideline questions that you can use:

  • What are your opinions on AI generated text and images?
  • Should furry spaces allow AI generated images?
  • What do you think are the use cases for these tools?
  • What long-term impact do you believe it will have on the fandom and the fandom’s artists?

    I agree with pretty much everything you said. I think Ai art is fine as long as it’s properly marked as such and the training data can be traced back to the original creater and their consent was given to use their work for Ai purposes.

    Once the honeymoon is over I believe Ai will become just another tool that can be used to speed up different tasks. Some will try to fully automate processes with Ai, but especially in art I don’t think it will ever come close to replace stuff created by humans. (At least I hope so)
