If any significant number of community members are opposed to this, we can discuss it further.

Judging by the reactions to the recently-posted, now-removed NMS AI content, it seems it’s generally poorly-received and people (including me) would prefer it not to be featured in this community.

    You saw a single low quality post made with Generative AI and all of a sudden want to ban any image that has even a little bit of AI used in it?

    Edit: I just double checked the updated community rules and saw that you left exceptions for AI background removers and AI Upscaling. Thank you for at least considering minor uses of AI.

    I understand making a rule if it becomes a problem with a bunch of low quality posts spamming the place, but this just feels like a knee jerk reaction because of your disdain for anything related to AI (although it’s worth pointing out that the DLSS option in No Man’s Sky is using AI models to improve quality/boost fps).

    If you find a compelling example of AI content which wouldn’t be widely detested, maybe we could make an exemption if the community agrees with you.

    Alright, here’s an example of some really cool AI generated content: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMRi6pNAoag

    The way I see it, generative AI is going through some early phases similarly to how cameras were treated in the past. Photographers, for a long time, weren’t regarded as artists for a while simply because it was so easy to just go out and take a picture of anything. But even photography can vary from the random cell phone pictures that anyone can take to the prize winning photographers that capture an amazing moment or who spend a lot of time getting the composition just right for the shot that they want to take. They might even wait in a specific spot for hours just to get a picture when the sun is at the right position.

    Likewise with AI generated content, it’s easy to quickly create a lot of junk. But there are artists out there that use AI as another tool in their belt in addition to everything else that they have learned.

      I’ll respond to this with what I said to one of the other AI-enthusiast-non-NMS-players commenting here:

      I brought up this topic to gauge the general response from members of this community - I absolutely am not interested in discussing AI content as a concept with AI enthusiasts or other people who are not members of this community.

      Also, the example you linked is completely unrelated to No Man’s Sky. Unsurprisingly. So that doesn’t apply here at all.
