BELLEDEESSE's uploads are the perfect example of why AI art should be heavily moderated or outright banned, if you look at their uploads:
- Every image is uploaded 3 to 5 times with very little variation.
- Every image is 1080p at best, when most non-ai uploads are ~4k nowdays.
- Every image is filled with bad ai artifacts.
- All of them have less than 1k views, clearly showing that no one wants to view them.
- They have uploaded 100 images in a week, and they all look the same.
The problem with AI generated images filling this site, is that you can't tell by the thumbnail that it's filled with ai artifacts. It's only when you click on each one, do you see if they've gone through the trouble of upscaling and retouching the image.
If you're not upscaling and retouching your ai images (like Alx), then it has no value and shouldn't be on this site. Ai uploaders are producing 10x the amount of content of a regular user, but gettting 10% of the views.
Until AI art is removed from subscriptions, I think you should only be able to upload 1 ai image a week, and only if its been upscaling and retouched.
Sidenote, I don't think ai art should be using the illustration, digital-art, and digital-painting tags as all these tags mean human-made, as it's not an aesthetic, it's a way of creating art.
