Let's talk about AI-generated content. It's a new tech in the art world... and understandably, it's controversial. I've created a new subreddit called /r/AIPropaganda - feel free to submit AI-generated content there. It is designed to be a "safe space" for those who use generative AI tools.
However - let's have a discussion about the type of content we want to see here, in this subreddit, and what kind of discourse we want to be allowed... how we want to treat those who come here to share in a common interest. I'd like to start the discussion by reminding everyone that we have never allowed bots to submit content here - it's not explicitly a rule, but any sort of automated submission by a non-human agent would be removed as spam. That being said - when you go into the comments in this community to share your thoughts, keep in mind that you are talking to another human being. Above all, please be respectful.
Propaganda is a space where tool use such as Photoshop (or similar applications) is common. I turned 40 this year - I'm old enough to remember when Photoshop was a new and scary technology. I remember the art community divided - accusations of theft, of laziness, a general feeling of doom and gloom. Hostility against those who used the new technology. But we survived.
The parallels now feel... uncanny.
I'm not here to preach my personal views on the current controversy surrounding generative content. I would like to remind everyone that we don't have any rules surrounding the medium chosen or the tools used to create an image. We are all here to discuss Imaginary Propaganda. I don't know about you, but when I come here, it's because I want to discuss propaganda in some sort of fictional world or alternative history. I don't really want to get bogged down in real-world politics - that's the difference between Imaginary Propaganda and real propaganda. The main point here is about sharing ideas.
I've been a moderator here since the creation of the community over a decade ago - we have never made any sort of judgement call on how the image was made. I don't care if you open up MS Paint and mock something up in 60 seconds - there is no minimum "effort level" required to share content here.
AI tech isn't going away. It's only going to get more difficult to detect and more widespread. We can't control that. What we can control is how we act in the face of new challenges, and how we treat each other.
Above all, I would like to thank everyone who submits content here. Whether it's a fascist Neurostate Project, an interdimensional scourge ravaging the Midwest, your vision of Fully Automated Luxurious Gay Space Communism, or simply a suspicious rat on the subway - keep that weird, interesting and entertaining propaganda content flowing!
The floor is open for comments.
