I've seen this reward point thing mentioned quite a bit and must admit my ignorance in that regard. What are they for, can they be used like coupons or vouchers if one has a certain amount of them or what? Is that what's behind all these gazillion big boobed fat ladies with little variation except maybe for pose and camera angle renders I've been seeing lately? If it is, I don't think banning AI art's gonna be much help there.

@giana -- the AI is not "forging" anything. But it has been trained with works that do contain signatures, watermarks and the like. So it will sometimes produce artifacts that may, if you squint hard enough, resemble something like writing. Because it has learned "if art then signature"; in other words it thinks those artifacts are supposed to be in the image. It is neither forging nor concealing anybody's actual mark, but it does at times invent something along that line. This is more likely to happen if you have a name in your prompt, especially as an artist's style. How do I know? Well, I once prompted "watercolour paintings in the style of This Fictional Artist I Just Invented" to test that out. Lo and behold! Stable Diffusion kept trying to put what it thought was my make-believe artist's name on almost every one. Take the name out of the prompt, the artifacts disappear. Because they were made up, not copied from any actual artist's work.
Hallucinating. I think that's what they call it when an AI makes stuff up just because. Weird. Undesirable. But certainly not a crime.

If there's a "Make Art" button, I sure haven't found it yet. Nope, not even in Stable Diffusion. Because I don't just type half a dozen words, invoke some Very Famous Artist, click "Generate" and presto! instant masterpiece. Nope, instead I take as much thought on composition, lighting, props and the like as I ever did in Poser or even back when I was using paper, pen and ink or canvas, paint and brush. Can take me hours to write a prompt I'm satisfied with enough to let the AI run. Days or even longer, depending on how much adjusting I do, before I consider an AI render worthy of investing more time and effort on until it's as close as possible to the image I have in mind. Sure, I've gotten good enough results in mere minutes like so many other AI users out there are churning out. Could probably have posted dozens every single day here when it was allowed and if I'd a mind to, but you see, I have this little problem. I just can't settle for plain "good enough."
And that, my dear friends, is why I have been doing AI art all wrong. ;-)

Or they could have not allowed AI images in the gallery while still permitting them only in the AI forum. Which could be hidden/entirely avoided by those not interested. That would have solved the "flooding" issue.

My 3d asset purchases have been on the decrease long before I started using AI. Not buying as much now that I'm retired and it's a hobby not a job. Plus the bad economy and a fixed income (disability pension) means less money for non-essentials like a thousand variations of the same string bikini for Vicky Whatever-Her-Number-Is-These-Days. My computer is fairly new but struggles with fully loaded Genesis figures if there is more than one per scene and I am doubtful of its ability to handle the next version of Studio or Poser without major upgrades. Which again I cannot afford, especially since the thing ain't broke and in need of fixing. Have not jumped on the Genesis 9 bandwagon and only toe-dipped in the 8.1 pool, still using Michael/Vicky 7 & 8 -- and yes, even 4. Since I already have tons of stuff for those figures and the supply of new products for them has mostly dried up, I'm not inclined to shop the 3D section very much.
That said, I have found myself buying more brushes, overlays, Photoshop actions, Paintshop Pro tubes and the like. For the purpose of using them along with programs like Stable Diffusion or MidJourney to do mixed media pieces. So AI has actually increased my spending, just on 2d assets instead.

And who is going to police the remaining galleries? Because, knowing people, that which is forbidden will become even more attractive simply because it is forbidden. We who indulge in creative pursuits are an especially rebellious bunch -- just ask all the censors and book-banners out there. There will always be those who push the envelope, test the edges, interpret things their own way or even merrily ignore them altogether should they decide "the rules" do not make sense. Here's a prediction: AI art may be banned here on Rendo and elsewhere but it won't really go away, it'll just get much better at blending in.
Right into the closet, along with everything else "society" has decided or been persuaded that it simply doesn't like.
N.B.: This does NOT mean I personally won't keep to the rules/TOS around here. I fully intend to abide by them, as nonsensical and arbitrary as this latest one is, in my opinion. Nor do I nor will I encourage people to break them. Simply making an educated guess. YMMV.

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.

Btw, do we need to purge our galleries of anything we did earlier that's no longer welcome? Because back before there was an AI section, stuff did end up under 2D, Mixed media and any other categories that seemed to fit.

This. Yes. What hmatienzo said. Now that I am older and even more disabled I find that traditional, even 3d, art is much harder than it used to be. Which is why I hardly bothered until AI tools came along and suddenly it was much easier to translate the ideas in my brain to images on my screen. Not "instant" or "effortless" like some people claim, though. Much thought, work and patience are still required, at least for me. Because rarely am I satisfied with first drafts, no matter how good any tool or technology gets.
P.S. The AI gallery was already separated. Not sure how much more separated it could possibly have gotten, except of course for being gone. Which apparently it now is. :-(

Agreed. If this were illegal art -- as ruled by a court of law, not public opinion -- then banning it would make sense. Indeed, it would be the only option. But it is not illegal, unless used to make nasty stuff like child smut, which is already against the law no matter how it's produced. So what else are we to think but that money concerns and peer pressure have a huge role to play in this decision?
And no, I won't be spending more on 3d stuff now that these tools are no longer welcome here. Because frankly I've a small fortune's worth of Poser, Daz, Bryce, Vue and other products sitting around since 2004 or thereabouts and I really don't need to buy more. Have not got the time and certainly not the money to ride that merry-go-round again. :-(

Just read it. Guess from now on out we'd better be extra careful. Because Photoshop and, yes, even some cameras themselves, come equipped with and make use of that forbidden "evil" tech.
Thread: Renderosity Announces Change in Policy Regarding AI Gallery Images | Forum: Community Center
Hoo-boy! We gonna ban Photoshop too? Because yes, it has AI. And if you fix or postwork using that, especially generative fill, guess what? You just used the forbidden, "evil" tech.
And where does mixed media stand? I have images in my gallery that are Daz/Poser with some AI elements and also AI/Photoshop/actual physical camera used in the creation. Are these still allowed or now banned as well?
