Since the last thread got gassed. What are your thoughts about having AI in GBS? Are you happy with the current state in which we have a "containment thread(s)" for showcasing AI creations. Would you want to see an outright ban on AI content? Would a single thread for discussing it and posting some content be better? Should posting AI content get special protection from mockery? I'd appreciate your thoughts. There's a thread in SAD active but I understand some people don't check SAD and I want to ask GBS directly what you guys want in here. Thanks. Please be nice

I don't think it should be allowed on the site at all, barring very specific stuff like (for example) if the US government posts an AI generated video of the president making GBS threads on people and people post THAT to discuss it. Or a movie studio puts out an AI generated poster and people discuss that image. There is no reason for anyone on this site to generate their own stuff and post it, or to just dig up random AI things and say "look at this". Also can we find out who gassed the last thread and why?

I posted in the bad AI thread that I saw a new AI coke ad and hated it and we talked about that for a while. Someone just posted a picture of products they saw in the grocery store that were adorned with slop logos Those are actual things passively happening TO us in life and worth discussing, even if only in a containment thread. Actually posting slop in a sincere way should be banned imo, but not all discussion or even posting IRL finds and political ads for mockery.

Ban all slop, gas the 3 slop threads, make it cost  to post it in any other thread. If people want to look at that poo poo there are a million places to do it. Also it should be banned sitewide, not just here.

banning discussion would be bad and sometimes to discuss things you need to post examples of what you're talking about most AI generated content is bad and worthless so I think the normal rules and norms about posting worthless garbage should be able to take care of it just fine I think the status quo is basically fine. Or just ban it all I guess

AI-generated posts 🤖 can bring a lot of creativity, humor, and engagement to our online forum—but they should absolutely have their own containment thread. Here’s why this approach strikes the perfect balance between fun and fairness for everyone. First, AI content can be hugely entertaining 🎭. Whether it’s writing parody stories, simulating characters, or spinning absurd what-if scenarios, AI tools let users explore new kinds of expression that just weren’t possible before. A containment thread gives those who enjoy that type of content a dedicated space to share, laugh, and experiment without flooding the rest of the forum. Think of it as an “AI playground” 🪅—a place where creativity can run wild, but without stepping on anyone’s toes. Second, a containment thread promotes organization and clarity 📚. It prevents general discussions from being overwhelmed by AI-generated material, which can sometimes derail serious topics or confuse new users. By keeping all AI content in one designated spot, everyone knows exactly where to go—whether they want to join in or steer clear. Third, this approach encourages responsible use of AI 💡. When we make space for it intentionally, we set expectations: users can have fun, but they should also be transparent about what’s AI-written and respect community guidelines. It turns a potential source of friction into a creative outlet. In short, allowing AI posts in a dedicated containment thread makes our forum more inclusive, fun, and well-managed. Those who want to dive into the weird and wonderful world of AI can do so freely, while everyone else can enjoy a clean, focused discussion space. It’s the best of both worlds 🌍✨—organization for the forum, and imagination for the users!

An outright ban would be great, other than in specific limited "containment" threads. An automatic sixer (or longer) for anyone caught posting genAI slop in PYF threads either knowingly or unknowingly would also encourage people to think before posting pictures/video. no that animal isn't really doing that extremely unlikely thing, it's AI you doofus etc

I've posted about dumb AI poo poo my workplace has been using or bad adverts I've seen in the street.

Originally I was against a ban but open to trolling because that was the common sense solution. Unfortunately a loving moron gassed the last thread and now I must vote for a full ai-content ban out of spite. Discussion of it is fine.

Here’s why this approach strikes the perfect balance between fun and fairness for everyone. 50% of my responses to ChatGPT have been "stfu don't type like this" enough to the point where I recently used the personalization settings enough to give it a complete lobotomy so I can get my big boobie garfield pics without any suggestions for improvement.

I still think about a goon submitting ai slop in the "draw newbies new avatars" thread a while back. That's more than enough reason for me to say it's poo poo.

Ziv Zulander posted:ban it all op. it needs to be a sitewide rule Like Fluffdaddy said in the SAD thread, I think each forum is pretty good at moderating AI content and an outright blanket ban isn't really necessary. I can agree with that and I think if an AI ban in GBS is approved then it's probably just going to be on a case by case basis and down to the individual moderators discretion. We can discuss what's the best going forward in time.

It's a hot topic and should be discussed, and that would involve examples. So I say keep it locked down to one(2 or 3) thread(s), ban it everywhere else.

Yeah, to clarify there will not be a ban on AI discussion. That's just impossible really and also kinda dumb. There's plenty to talk about and mock and stuff.

I don't like AI but banning the threads is not a good idea because people will just start posting in places where entrenched opinions won't be challenged. Trolling is a good idea, for the simple truth that if you want to be an artist you need a thick enough skin for critique. As is stands posting something even non-antagonistically negative in the AI Art thread gets probes and/or scorn but it needs that for discussion to flow.

Agreed, there need to be way less "artist" circlejerk threads on this site and way more "lol you suck why did you bother" ones instead i should be the change i want to see in the world, i suppose
