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?

    One additional thing to consider is that not all art is either entirely AI-generated or entirely devoid of AI-generated material. Rick Griffin, for example, has used AI assistance to fill in darker parts of the background for one of his pieces before, falling afoul of Fur Affinity’s policies. This was a work in which the vast majority was regular digital art created by Rick Griffin himself.
