I see the rules currently state “Nothing from realistic models trying to generate real people.”

To verify I understand this correctly, does this mean realistic imagery is OK as long as it does not mimic the likeness of a real person (aka deepfakes)?

For example, a photo-realistic image of a body builder is OK, but a photo-realistic image of Arnold Schwarzenegger is not?

    For those wondering, the site rules on this topic (can’t speak for the community.) If the media depicts a topic which is highly illegal and is not blatantly obvious that said media is fake, it risks being removed.

    While we strive to allow our users the highest amount of free expression we can offer, we will not host potentially illegal media.

      I have a question about this - would a community just for discussion and guides around how to generate NSFW AI content, particularly extreme and/or illegal stuff which can’t be shared (gore, realistic loli, bestiality etc) be allowed? To be clear, generated images (and links to them) would be strictly against community rules, alongside the sharing of models trained off real illegal/objectionable content. But there would be very explicit instructions on how to make anything and everything on one’s own PC.

      (fwiw - if the community is allowed, I wouldn’t be starting it for a while, until Burggit is more mature)

        It would be something that I’d have to heavily advise against, especially right now. I feel there are probably places that are better suited for this sort of content, with the moderation manpower to properly deal with it. The issue we’d have is that this sort of community would require very strict, heavy moderation and could open up a lot of potential work that we frankly wouldn’t want to deal with.

        The mods of such a community would have to be really diligent about not letting anything illegal/illicit slip through. This isn’t even mentioning various other issues which could pop up for us if we started hosting such a community.

          Understood. I appreciate that you didn’t give a hard no, but I don’t want to hurt the site and fully understand the trouble a community like that could/would bring so I won’t.

          It’s ironic how the tools exist to create depictions of harmful content without the real harm they depict, but in being relegated to the same spaces the more ethical yet inconvenient and imperfect option ends up irrelevant to those who don’t care about the source.
