- We may delete images that unabashedly mimic existing artists if these appear to be harmful to their business or reputation
- eg. claiming to be the artist to take up commissions or merch sales
- or using the artistās style to create images of a contentious theme, or one the artist is known to be against
- Images looking ākind of in the style ofā or āgiving the vibe ofā are not a concern
- We (still) do not care about what prompts, models, LORAs, workflows, brushes, or whatever tools used
Thatās a relief!
In terms of tags it should go like āartist:(used style)ā?
Literally the opposite of the entire point! Tagging art as using a style and reporting it as using a style are both incredibly subjective and bad. Reporting gives mods headaches, and tagging misleads viewers. If it helps, think of this without AI in mind. Would you ever tag someoneās drawn art as being in the style of another artist? No, that would be strange and rude⦠Except in those cases where that was the entire intent of the art, of course. So tags for JoJo style and such are fine. The amount of PokeHidden style images Iāve seen by various artists also makes me think that would be a safe exception to tag. Styles even when named after artists, are never owned by that artist. Copying styles is incredibly common and normal. So I only see reason to tag a style being in cases where it is a distinctive and common style like the two example above. (Though ādistinctive and commonā is a bit subjective, I canāt think of how else to word it.)
At least, thatās where Iād draw the line on style tags. To just use the same ruling as weād use on a non-AI site. So like tagging attempts to look like the art is from a specific game or show.
