Hello! This will be the first of our weekly discussions. This thread will be pinned in the local timeline all week long and I hope that everyone feels encouraged to voice their opinion.

This thread will be locked after a week. Make sure to join the discussion in time!

This weeks topic is: AI "art" and its impact on the furry fandom and artists.

Here are some guideline questions that you can use:

What are your opinions on AI generated text and images?
Should furry spaces allow AI generated images?
What do you think are the use cases for these tools?
What long-term impact do you believe it will have on the fandom and the fandom's artists?

I simply don't think images created by AI count as art. Art requires meaning, emotion and soul. These things are not possessed by AI nor are they imparted onto things created by AI. They create images. Images are no replacement for actual art.

I do think it will cut down on commissions in many places, though. Like porn and generic fursona reference sheets/images would most certainly be impacted negatively. Though I don't think it will be devastating.
