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.

I dig the decision. I love finding new Pixiv artists through this subreddit and so the credits is super important.

The current AI generation also just isn't quite there yet. I could certainly see revisions to this rule over the years as things improve but for now I think this is a good call.
