Is it time to talk about moving AI photos to their own picture archive? Just a thought. Would like to hear all of your opinions. They seem to be taking over. To me they're spam. They don't even look like real photos. I'd rather be looking at real human messy images instead of this spam. I don't think the original intent of the forum picture archive had this in mind when first created. Should be real-life photos instead of AI.

Would like to know what the rest of the community thinks.

Thanks,

Turn the "synthetic" setting from Allow to Reduce when browsing pics and that should work.

As it happens, someone else had the same thought in this thread:

It seems like most of the pictures should have been automatically tagged as synthetic, but the system hasn't been working properly the last couple days, which is why you've been seeing so many unmarked pictures. If you do, make sure to report them and MM or one of the moderators will handle it.

I'm now seeing more AI discussion threads than AI photos

Yes, well!

I'll lock this one and request that any further discussion of the topic takes place in the previous thread, which also has a poll attached so people can state their preference: https://umd.net/forums/ai-photos

(we're not allowed to merge threads by different authors, so I can't just merge these two together)
