AI Art PSA

:snowflake:

Hello MA! After careful deliberation from both opinions from the mod team as well as suggestions from you all, we've come to an agreement and are proud to finally announce a ban on AI Art!

Of course, this decision wasn't made without weighing the pros and cons. We allowed it to persist due to the number of people who utilize it and the relative newness of AI art at the time but due to how AI has been proven to steal from hard-working artists we have decided to no longer allow it. To those who use AI art for their OC's: Please understand that we are not trying to stifle your creativity. We understand that AI art seems useful for creating the look of OC's or for general aesthetic, but it does hurt other creators who pour their ion into their work and steals from them which MA will not stand for.

This rule will be effective immediately but we will be allowing some time for those who do use AI art to change it before their posts are disabled or they're even striked.

Below, you will have listed very clearly what is and isn't allowed in regards to AI art:

-Profile pictures, galleries and Bios are not allowed to include AI Art. Profiles containing AI Art will be hidden until the art is removed.

-Any and all posts (blogs, wikis, polls, quizzes) will not be allowed to use AI Art. Any posts that include AI art will be disabled. You will be free to remove the art at any time though and the post will be re enabled for you!

*this will be open to suggestions. If there is anything you aren't happy with, let us know in the comments or message one of the crediting team leaders and we'll do our best to accommodate

If you have any questions, please comment or Crediting Team leaders Kenz and Cam
