Background Pony #F7CC
Older but remarkable:
by: because it’s short and gives more visual space for the person’s name. Otherwise author and creator both sound goodartist but i don’t think they like the idea of dealing the potential upset antis. prompter is stupid because it only implies prompting and not any of the other work done. otherwise by: would be best. as it is the most neutral, doesn’t degrade and doesn’t sound tacky.I’m fine withcreatorbut I also believe we should just be tagging ourselves asartist. The world already has enough disrespect for what we do, I don’t see why we need join in.I juggle 4-5 models on a single txt2img pass. With the same I prompt I can range anywhere from show accurate to photorealism by deciding which models to use, which model does what, and tweaking denoise ratios.Might also be a good idea to remember theai generated,ai assisted, andai compositiontags. I usually tag my stuff withai generatedbut that’s really just a technicality because reForge is automating all the inpainting.
artist: really makes the most sense. We don’t need to validate the anti- ideas about AI art not being art.Creator: It’s incredibly universal and inclusive. Whether someone is physically drawing an image from scratch or carefully crafting a prompt to generate it, they are bringing a new concept to life. It respects both traditional and AI workflows without alienating either side.
Prompter: This feels entirely specific to AI. If a traditional artist posts their work, being labeled just a "prompter" might feel dismissive of their manual effort.
Director: This sounds a bit too cinematic, hahaha. While it accurately describes guiding an AI, it implies managing a team or a movie set rather than crafting a standalone image.
Producer: Similar to Director, it feels a little too industrial or business-focused.
By: It's straightforward, but maybe a little too vague for a structured database or image board. Creator: [Name] looks much cleaner and more professional in a tag list than By: [Name].
If you wanted to look completely outside the list, Author: could also work, but Creator: still feels like the most natural and respectful choice for visual media. It sits perfectly alongside the Editor: tag, too!

I usually tag my stuff with ai generated but that’s really just a technicality because reForge is automating all the inpainting.creator is the most encompassing imo, director is a good alternative. by sounds weird as it goes against noun:value scheme that other tags use (generator:*, ship:*, oc:*)prompter: a reasonable option.Prompter:.If you do not specify a field to search over, the search engine will search for posts with a body that is similar to the query's word stems. For example, posts containing the words winged humanization, wings, and spread wings would all be found by a search for wing, but sewing would not be.
