If you're thinking this will stop spammers in the galleries, think again. There is a so-called Vue image under category Romance that is neither Vue nor romance but an ad with a link to an adult services page. "Best Call Girl In Delhi", I kid you not. Just reported it. 

P.S. No, I haven't deleted anything in my gallery yet. Not sure if old stuff can stay or not so I figured I'd better ask to be on the safe side. Will comply with the rules, no more AI in anything else posted here by this little featherhead.

well, the announcement mentioned "comprehensive", which means "all" but on the other hand didn't mention it's retroactive so it's a grey zone. however CHMedia wrote in this post here : "Please refrain from posting AI images on Renderosity moving forward" - which for me means older images uploaded before today are not included.
this really needs to be clarified, clearly written in all letters, and posted on various places in the site, before misinformed people start deleting all their good stuff that could stay!

wait.. why are some people who have created Ai images BEFORE this new decision talk about throwing away / deleting their images, be it in the AI section or when there wasn't one, in other galleries?

i had understood this new policy as in "RENDEROSITY DOESN'T ACCEPT ANY AI IMAGES FROM NOW ON" - and not as in "renderosity will be a totally AI-free zone and will delete or ask the userS to delete ALL AI IMAGES EVER UPLOADED"...

can someone please clarify this question - and hopefully reassure all of us who have full galleries with AI images made before today...

This makes me sad. I always thought art was art, but aparently art is only what some people think is art. 

Thank you to the AI artists who shared their beautiful visions here. Maybe we can meet elsewhere...

This is nuts!  What's next, evil Photoshop with its Neural filters?  Even webbrowsers integrate AI.  And to those self-appointed "purists" out there...  You don't have one picture that is all yours.  You utilize products -made-by-others!!  But it's good to see that handful of whining blackmailers here finally got their way.   But guess what... You likely won't get more clicks now than you did when AI was a!lowed.  But hey, as long as we can look at scores of vapid nudes....

even if they all look the same, like the same chick in 8 positions, render time maybe faster than AI, and "scene" creation time not much longer. creation skills .. yeah well. theme... not exactly rare and unexpected but pr0n always pays off. and as to the amount of products involved, 1 female model used ad eternam and no clothing nor props, not gonna boost the business much either.

if you want to have real quality in those galleries, there would be so many other things to ban apart from or even instead of AI, word!
but we live in a cancel culture now, and AI is probably the new tobacco - it's just not trending to be seen using it.

someone just warned me that i could get banned.. for what? for saying my honest opinion and expressing my bitter disappointment? or for uploading my own made art like everyone else? please tell me that it can't be. is a ban for that even possible? what have i done wrong? are we still in a free platform? i have not used any profanities, nor threats/violence, nor mentioned nudity (not very on topic lol).

so before you ban me, warn me, and i will delete every comment, and be sad in my little corner all silently by myself - like all minorities...

You could lock this thread. There isn't anything to debate here. Protect our writers also, ChatGPT is AI.

Thank you, Renderosity! Hope you are able to fully recover.

hey there is another kind of atrocity that should be banned on rendo, because it's the bane of the internet, and it's anything but beautiful or talented: SELFIES. and anything that looks like one.

Too sad, those were often the most interesting pictures.

Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

Folks, there is a humongous difference between using AI technology as PART of a toolset to create an image, and just using the AI to create a complete image (and calling it 'your' artwork). What that means is that YOU as an artist are controlling what comes out as the final image rather than the AI. Using a combination of Poser / DAZ, Photoshop / Gimp / Painter / Whatever as your creative toolset is not, I repeat, NOT the same as typing in a bunch of prompt words / phrases, then letting the AI do its thing. YOU are the creator of the image, not the AI. Using generative fill in Photoshop as a tool is not the same as generating an entirely new image using AI only.

and then look at the beautiful other images i made the weeks/months before with AI, enjoying every moment of their creation. 

thank you all anti AI people, you just saved the world from beauty. but at least, the human lack of talent is rewarded. long live the human race. it won't last long anyway.

Good riddance. 💗💖💞💕❤️ Sending love and peaceful energy to everyone reading these words ❤️💕💞💖💗

so i'll do like everyone else and upload NO AI images made by myself on a fully natural 3d program or whatever -  that i can't even bear to look at myself, because they suck. they will not be AI, but they won't be much worse as what i've already seen. yay, 8 useless ugly images a day, what a pleasure! but who cares, as long as it's not the big bad AI menace that robs "real artists" of their income...

Can you view your art after 15 minutes?

sorry messed up last reply.. today meanwhile everything seems normal again.

Can you view your art after 15 minutes i.e. the usual time.. but meanwhile during the night the issue has been solved. first there also was a bug with replying a comment, now everything is back to normal, i see my images in my gallery and can reply t comments. at least i hope it is - i haven't uploaded any images yet TODAY..

Hi. I sent you a sitemail with that coupon code.

you can actually request gift certificates to be combined into one, but i agree - why not have a system that allows the user to simply enter in multiple certificates instead of having to ask for things to be combined and then waiting until someone notices your request because they're busy elsewhere.  just seems silly to add to the Staff's workload unnecessarily.

also, i think the time limit on certificates bought with reward points should be expanded, esp. for Poser users.  not sure anyone has noticed, but there really is not a steady flow of new & exciting products coming out on any kind of consistent basis for Poser.  and Poser users, not all, but probably the majority of us, already have deep libraries from buying so much in the past.  it makes it tough to find things to buy within only a month's time.

could the limit not be expanded to perhaps 2 or 3 months instead?

i get that TPTB want to create a sense of urgency/pressure to purchase, and to keep earning points to spend points, but if the cupboards are fairly scant, then that month deadline feels punitive to a degree over something that the consumer has little control over...

please consider... thanks.

mhh... they don't combine reward points GC afaik, only the normal GC you purchase.

could you please offer other sizes of reward coupons than only 5$, 10$ and 50$? like 20$ or 25$?

this wouldn't be necessary if when the store just updated the cart page recently, it had FINALLY been possible to add more than 1 gift certificate... i just don't understand why this hasn't been implemented yet..

anyways, there's a way too big gap between 10$ and 50$. like now i have about 3700 points, i have to wait 2 more weeks with gallery uploads until i have 5000 points to buy 1 50$ GC, that i have then to use in a month, even if i don't find that many products iwant in such a short period... so if right now i see a cool item or a bunch i'd like for 30$, i can't buy it/them... even having enough points for it. because i can't add 3x 10$ GC, nor do i have enough points for the next GC.

the easiest and most practical thing would be to be able to pay with points - without the whole GC in-between. i have 3700 points, i can buy for 37$. period.

in the last weeks, i've been combing my wishlist daily to find good bargains/deals that sum up to 5$, or 10$, because i can't convert my points for a 20-25$ GC. it ain't easy. i usually give up after a while, i just purchased a few 5$ items..
