Just wanted to update yall on where we are currently with the TOS. It'll continue to evolve

Deep Fakes and Artificial Intelligence
If you upload content that is photorealistic but completely generated or fake, that must be mentioned in an accompanying description or caption (a formal tagging and filtering system will replace this requirement later). The actual technology used to generate the content does not matter, whether it's AI, Photoshop, or a really skilled human artist.
If you upload content that features a real person but has been generated or altered to place them realistically into a fantasy scenario, that person must be you, your model, or someone from whom you've gotten consent to use their likeness for this purpose. The fact that it's a deep fake must be mentioned in an accompanying description or caption. We will need to remove any content that we feel may be using a person's likeness without their consent.
Photorealistic generated and altered content is subject to the same rules as natural content: Copyright laws still apply, subjects must be clearly portrayed as adults, and if the content depicts any nudity, the uploader must have a verified account.
Our rules about deep fakes will evolve as our community continues to discuss the morals and consequences of using this technology.

This is perfect! Thank you. People will recognize how important consent and privacy is, and that it does not matter whether or not the image is generated, photoshopped, or real.
I was imagining a worse case scenario where it was allowed and it shows that consent is not important, producers have a strike, and dozens of producers close their stores out of protest. There are a lot of people who would desire to see real people in generated images, but this choice seems better for this site. There are other sites where people can post these images at their own risk of being sued when various state laws are created.
One suggestion I have is for people, like me, who have a generated profile picture. It might be nice to mention that in the profile description.

I think these ToS rules are absolutely fine for where things stand, particularly with regard to images featuring real people. Many thanks to MM and all those who are contributing to this thread.
