In particular I’m not sure if my “woke cat” comics should have the box checked for future posts.
Written by me, and then I take multiple chat bot images and make manual corrections and edits in GIMP to get the comic panels.
So if I had to pick yes or no to “is it AI generated?” I’d say “no”
But I’m not sure if the “AI generated” check box is equivalent to that question, or more like “does it contain auto generated content?” which would be “yes”
Edit - will absolutely not be using the check box for these comics due to a fucked up reply that got too many upvotes
I don’t know either. Let’s leave it to the mods to figure out, hopefully they know more about their subject than I ;-)
We have decades of practice distinguishing between NSFW and SFW and it’s still not fully resolved so this could take a while.
But if someone took (entirely) AI-generated content and changed a single word, would that make it not AI-generated anymore?
I like @[email protected]’s viewpoint (in their top-level comment): it is like NSFW, where even putting a thong onto a naked person (male or female) still leaves the image as NSFW? Various levels of lower degrees of nudity including adding a bikini, underwear, or even full covering (like paint or spandex) but with certain poses and the overall “look” likewise still leaving it as something that someone may feel could be problematic to have pop up while at work. It’s a problem if said person may have to avoid using the Threadiverse in such a setting if that kind of thing can happen - like even if they themselves are okay with it, if a boss is looking for any excuse to fire someone… then why hand them a convenient scenario with which to do so?
At the other end of the spectrum, like using a spell- or grammar-check is not AI, image editing software also remains as a “tool” under the agency & full control of the user at each step along the way of the process. I think what you are describing as “AI” there (as taking short-cuts to deliver a crappy product with the lowest amount of human effort possible) may rather be “slop”, which is not unique to AI as human slop also exists:-P.
As @[email protected] mentioned, we can borrow from those prior decades of NSFW (& NSFL) and use the same definition for AI: if someone would be offended by encountering it, then mark it (blur, semi-transparent, reduce or even block it). If someone wants finer-grain controls than that then… well that’s a much lower prioritization to provide, compared to having vs. not having AI marking at all?
