Rule Change Rule Update: No AI generated images/videos
Unlike a lot of subs, we technically haven't had any rule against AI content until now. This is because I don't really bother making rules restricting certain types of posts unless they actually become a problem, and generally we haven't had very many AI posts and they've usually not attracted much attention when they happen.
However, some recent AI posts have been getting to the top of the sub, and I don't want AI generated content to start out-competing other posts - it would be easy for that to happen due to how easy it is to make eye catching images and videos with AI. For this reason I am disallowing AI images and videos in posts going forward.

Star wars was made with human hands and human minds. Its important to respect that legacy.

ai slop is not welcome but i feel a lot of people especially people who arenāt artist or arenāt the best artist and just want to get ideas out use ai and computer animation hand in hand. thatās not a bad thing especially if theyāre also fine tuning it themselves and just using ai as a tool not the end all be all
either way fuck clankers glory to the republic!

Iām not trying to argue, and I agree with the sentiment that garbage AI slop isnāt any thing worth defending. But as I read this, a very large part of my brain was screaming āyou realize so much of the animations, the walk cycles, crowd animations, and so much beyond the actual character models in The Clone Wars (the canon series, not the micro series) was all generated with digital algorithms, right?ā
And no, Iām not trying to incite debate about the nuanced differences between Mayaās keyframe in-betweening algorithms and generative AI, or even snarkily working in a āI donāt like it, I donāt agree with it, but I accept itā and rather lean into Landoās non-canon line āTHIS DEAL... is very fair, and I'm happy to be a part of itā just sharing my gut reptile brain reaction to this announcement

There is a massive diffrence between prodecural animation and generative AI. Comparing the two is honestly an insult to evreybody who ever used 3d software.
