    To the several people who reported this post:

    This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.

    Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.

      There are ethical concerns with the use of AI, especially image generation.

      c/dogs has a strict no AI policy, and it seems to be appreciated by our users.

      This decision should be reconsidered and I would downvote if my instance allowed. Almost every comment is against it here.

        I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don’t otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.

        I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.

            You’re the one who took over c/dogs? And then banned anyone putting up facts about pitbulls. I’m not surprised you’re defending AI garbage, too.

              Arguing over doggy eugenics is off-topic on a forum about dog pictures. This was an established rule before I took over the community.

              You were banned after being warned and made aware of the rule, after multiple violations and many reports from other users in the modlog.

              Besides, I don’t know why you’re tu quoque-ing about this in an unrelated community, nor why you’re harassing me via DM for that matter.

              Move on.

              And no, AI is strictly banned in all communities I moderate. My comment above is constructive and opens a discussion, unlike your ad hominem comment here.

                You told to provide facts, I did just that. After that you got all pissy and banned me with a snarky, powertripping comment you edited to remove the snark very soon after. You know pitbulls are banned in many civilized countries, right? And for a good reason: they are bred for violence. “Doggy eugenics” Jesus…

                But hey, when you get to powertrip you got to powertrip even if it’s to defend a dog breed that kills and maims even unprovoked way more than any other ones, am I right?

            There isn’t anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn’t what the community is about.

            If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it’d be fine for that post’s commenters to discuss pizza in general.

      This take is this community’s equivalent to the sole c/dogs mod (who very recently took over) banning people for putting up facts about pitbulls: pitiful
