To the several people who reported this post:
This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.
Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.
This decision should be reconsidered and I would downvote if my instance allowed. Almost every comment is against it here.
I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don’t otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.
I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.
I’ll argue that this is a cat community, not an AI discussion community.
There isn’t anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn’t what the community is about.
If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it’d be fine for that post’s commenters to discuss pizza in general.

There are ethical concerns with the use of AI, especially image generation.
c/dogs has a strict no AI policy, and it seems to be appreciated by our users.
This take is this community’s equivalent to the sole c/dogs mod (who very recently took over) banning people for putting up facts about pitbulls: pitiful
Good rule.
no ai slop here pls
Is this AI generated?
ugh
AI art bad
AI haters bad
I don’t hate AI. I hate technology that disenfranchises workers, even moreso when they make a living from their art as I do.
🤮 garbage Ai slop
This wouldn’t have taken much time or skill to make in GIMP or Krita.
Do it by your self then
I mean… You didn’t
Scrungus is my favorite, but he is absolutely not a friend. He is a menace.
I enjoyed the meme LadyButterfly. the Lemmy AI hate train has gone full circle-jerk meltdown with this one, sorry it happened to you. Thanks for the laugh.
Thanks Smokey, I’m just sorry it got referred to the mods! It’s more work for them over a circle jerk
No need to be sorry. I’d step down as mod if dealing with stuff like this was too much work for me.
Plus this isn’t the first time a post with an AI image has gotten this kind of response. I just copy-pasted the same comment I made the last time this happened.
Thanks skyler… good luck managing this from now on!
You shouldn’t be sorry, you didn’t do anything wrong content wise. If anything you helped the community by sparking a important conversation leading to better defined guidelines which I imagine will be updated if this becomes a common enough issue.
That’s really nice of you thanks 😊
