A lot of the AI stuff that's been flooding in to the Hub lately is just really not good. Can we please get better quality control regarding AI posts here, because in the last 2 months, so much of it has been really sub-par.

I think would be better if you send some examples.

If you think that an AI generated post is sub-par and shouldn't be on the hub, flag it for deletion.

i am not insinuating anything, but i why do some of these ai posts feel like they don't really have a problem with the ai quality but rather with fact that a post was made with ai to begin with, but they can't say that because they know it will get their complaints nowhere

Bruv I looked for a 2nd thread and found nothing within this page or the previous one.

As someone who messes around with AI art a lot (see the Discord, where I am most posts in that channel) I tend to agree that most of the stuff posted up on site is, frankly, somewhere between bland and bad. Generally with very weak MC elements. That's just my personal opinion, though, and I'd probably level that complaint against a bevy of things like a good portion of manips and captions, as I am a curmudgeon. Personally, I think a lot of AI stuff on the site really doesn't rise to the point that I'd care to defend it, and in most cases would probably be on the side of taking it down if it was flagged.

I'm not QCC, though, so I just let them come to a decision when things are flagged like anything else, and weigh in if they ask my opinion. And I tend to be on the harsher side of that judgement call if asked in general, whether AI or not.


The fact that it's AI is a factor in how it should be judged. We've said this before, as AI art generation does fall under the "mass producible" umbrella we also put things like Kisekae in.




If you think something is below par, please, tag it so it can be reviewed. QCC isn't reviewing/going through with a fine tooth comb on every uploaded pic to determine whether it's "good enough". The team really only reviews posts made by new users before the account is deemed "trusted" (a certain number of accepted posts, basically) and uploads don't require manual review, or if they personally see something and think it needs review - so they flag it themselves to put on the queue, or if a user flags a post.

The QCC team also has real world stuff going on, and isn't always going to review every post uploaded if they're not brought to their attention. Sometimes there are things that slip through the cracks, and that's what we rely on people flagging images for.

Yeah we really need to start putting guidelines on AI posts, cause we have so many ai posts from ONE person taking over a lot of room. AI should not be freely allowed on the site.

Adding to the Ai control, I think something we need is that "Filter Ai Post" button rule34 have. Because we will reach a point where will be more ai generated post in main page than other kind of content, and that button is quite flexible for when you want and you don't want to see them.

I agree with this. Rule34 isn't the only site that dose this either. A little more of a pain but Pixiv has a similar thing where you can toggle AI art on/off in the settings and I know I've seen a few other sites do it too.

Think this would help out a lot. Especially since I see how things could get flooded real easily if left unchecked. I personally have over 8,000+ AI images I could've uploaded. Or even the 100 I shared for free. But I didn't I only uploaded a few here and linked the rest so I didn't flood the hub.

Full agreement. AI generation is fine, it eclipsing the art it is based on is not.

Implementation should be easy, since it is already something you can do with the current interface by typing -ai_art into the search bar.

At worst, if slayerduck can't be bothered to implement A button, someone could put up text that explains this functionality for the average user.

A button would be nice but the blacklist already let's you filter out the slop.

The issue is it still pushes stuff off the front page and hurts discoverability. That's one reason I know a few artists have already given up on the site and some new artists don't think it's worth it

If your suggestion would be implemented I really hope slayerduck would also fix other important systems like tag aliases

Another way to reduce ai slop flooding is to implement an daily upload limit for ai generated posts. What do everyone think?

The blacklist is fine, but it, and this really does annoy me, it has a limit, which I've reached cause I don't like a lot of tags. (Me problem, I know, but still)

As long as we can just zone them out, they should be able to upload as much as they want(past the usual honor-system limit per user, of course).

Their Presence here is not the problem, it doesn't have to be reduced. People should just be able to see actual drawings without going through the hassle of filtering out the AI generation, if they even know how to do that in the first place.

- With that in mind, until and if someone with the power to change anything comes along, we could start an awareness campaign.

The problem is that you need to edit your blacklist with ai stuff and manually remove it if at some point you want to check something. (Also, new users won't know how to access to the blacklist), but a button is friendly for everyone, even for people with not even an account here.
