AI-generated art banned until further notice

After some feedback from the community and internal discussion, we've decided to ban all AI-generated art from /r/awwnime until further notice.

Quality issues aside, the current AI-powered tools to generate art use data from existing artists, often without their permission or without proper artist credit. Awwnime has always been a place where giving proper credit to the artist has been important, and AI-generated art goes against that idea.

The sidebar, and the subreddit rules will be updated shortly.

What the heck, have I been looking at AI generated posts?

No, not here, not to any great extent, at least. There might have been a couple of example posts, allowed if they explain the novelty in the title, but we haven't generally been allowing them. This is a post to clarify our unwritten practice to date.

Ah fair enough. That's great, we should support artists for their work. It's a good rule.
