So AI is now allowed on here?

Retouchguy you are not even answering my question which is fine since I won't continue replying.

i did answer, i said we all take inspiration from nature and other humans.

The invention of the camera brought about significant changes in the world of portraiture and art. While some portrait painters may have felt threatened by the emergence of this new technology, others embraced it as a tool to aid in their work or as a new medium for artistic expression. There were likely mixed reactions among artists, ranging from excitement about the possibilities offered by photography to concerns about its potential impact on their livelihoods. Overall, the invention of the camera marked a transformative moment in the history of art, shaping the way artists approached their craft and the way society viewed images and portraits.

Likewise, the advent of AI technology is poised to have a similarly significant impact on society and photography. Some will resist it out of fear, while others will embrace the new tool and find innovative ways to incorporate it to create new advanced art forms.

I, for one, am looking forward to seeing what the brilliant and creative minds in society will come up with using the new tools that AI will drive.

A question for Admin - 

Perhaps, after all this bickering, it is time to address the original post - 'So AI is now allowed on here?'

My own feeling is that on a site with a primary focus on model networking, it is both dishonest and ultimately pointless, to post an image featuring an subject that has never physically existed.

On the other hand, if I am retouching part of the background of an image, I don't see any fundamental difference between content-aware fill and AI generative fill.

Could Admin please post some sort of definitive statement (or a link) to what exactly is, and is not, allowed?

ampy no it’s not.

The image upload guidelines are pretty clear, I think.

Guidelines are already described here under "machine generated images"

Thank you for the link James,

Personally, I have absolutely zero interest in Midjourney and the like, but given the new (and no doubt ever increasing) AI features in Photoshop, I was looking for a definitive statement.

I failed to spot this.

You're obviously not the only one!  :-)

What would a definitive statement look like?

Some people seem to have a massive blind spot. 

You can post an image where part of it has been generated by an "AI" algorithm, provided that part isn't the model.

Get photoshop to AI fill the background, it's treated no different to using the clone brush or compositing two pictures.
Get something to generate a photorealistic picture of a model and drop that into a background which you've shot, not  forbidden. 

I've got an idea for a picture which composites together photographs of living, breathing models, and cybergraphs of machine generated women, and I don't know if that is legal or not.    

I think it's pretty clear too. AI as an editing tool is a different thing altogether than an image that's not actually taken and is just generated soley by AI.

The rules here make it easy, because if any image is flagged as AI all you need to do is send the original photo to prove it was an actual image to start with.

I'm just baffled by it.

Not by AI itself. But the number of people who don't get the rules of the site and the difference between an AI assisted photo and a completely AI generated image in regards to those rules.

It's clear AI generated images aren't allowed.

Agreed - it isn't difficult, surely?

There's another FPI up today which looks - well I don't know - rather unlike a photograph. I can only guess at how it was produced.
