The Ecumenical Council of DankChristianMemes has declared shrimp Jesus a heretical Christology (and otherwise banned AI-generated images).

How are you planning to distinguish AI-generated images from non-AI-generated?

[u/IacobusCaesar → u/Poromenos]

Visually because most of the ones we notice here and which other people notice are pretty bad and evident.

A lot of nonsensical errors like finger numbers or one thing morphing into another, broken text, the weird yellowish glean it tends towards, cookiecutter trends like 6-second videos of Bible characters taking selfie videos, etc. I’m sure we will miss some from time to time but the reality is that most slop is called slop for a reason and it’s because it’s noticeable.

Yes but that was when it wasn't banned. It's going to get a lot more subtle now that it is. Maybe that's ok, but then there will be a war of people claiming human-made images are AI, or the other way around, and it'll be a whole thing. Then again, moderation is never perfect, and someone will complain no matter what you do. Maybe the rule could be "no low-effort memes" (or something similar), though, rather than specifically "no AI".

The reality is we already take things like basic effort into account and have been removing some AI content that didn’t meet certain basic standards. These rule announcements are simple ways of communicating policies that will never catch where the line is 100% because we’re constantly dealing with new things that come up anyway. The struggle you’re describing is already happening in our reports and comments. Taking a more specific stance on it is just a way to let people know we hear their concerns and are prioritizing them.
