    The image looks like OP cherry picked some replies in the original thread. I wonder how many artists still want AI assisted art to be flagged as such.

    EDIT The source is also linked under the images. They did leave out all the comments in favour of including AI metadata, but naturally they’re there in the source linked under the images.

      💯

      Absolutely cherry picked. Let us know if you peruse the source:

      Without cherry picking… imagine these will be resized to the point of illegibility:

        It’s unreasonable to make them illegible for no good reason; you could’ve included them as-is, possibly in multiple, smaller images. It’s also far more common to just share a link rather than an image post, as we’ll have to see the link anyway.
        I didn’t see the source, though, I’ve updated my comment for that.

          He just won’t stop!

          Aight I repeated “cherry picked” earlier… no:

          “Curated.” Was happy to curate a few of the more interesting comments for our community.

          If I weren’t so lazy I might’ve found another comment in favor of the labeling to bump up the screenshotted proportion of replies in support from the 25% seen in my OP. Still, think I did an aight job.

          Okayyy night now haha

          Thanks for the edit. We all love that intellectual honesty!

          Don’t miss this absolute roast though:

          Now -

          1: I should’ve been more clear… those full screen screenshots are so enormous, Lemmy has to compress them for cost and UX reasons.

          2: Screenshot over link is a very intentional choice. Even if you’re positive you would’ve clicked based on the title, there are some great responses in this thread that I guarantee you we would not have been blessed with if this post had been a link instead of an image.

          Everyone is busy. Lots of us work away on keyboards all day, and we hop on here just to scroll casually. Some huge forum thread? Forget it! A little screenshot that has teasers and can be digested bit by bit, with the leading post in the image helping folks decide whether they care enough to read the rest of the image and furthermore to find a source? (either by an OP or commenter’s source link, or exact match web search of an OCR’d phrase from the image) That’s the best shot we have at easing in as many people as possible into a topic. (Do feel bad for the vision impaired, hopefully the source link is a decent standin.) But for 98% of us this is prob the way. Aight maybe 95%, you got a good community response to your comment :)

          Thanks for chiming in m’lord
