For creating a unified tag for identifying who made stuff, I guess it makes sense. I guess it’s more of a personal thing as I’m not really comfortable being referred to as a “creator,” when in my opinion I’m not really creating anything. I’m not sketching a start image or editing a traditional art image I made, I’m just entering text into a UI and clicking a button until I get something I like. At best I’ll evolve/duplicate generations and clean them up afterwards, but I still don’t know if that really makes me a creator.
I know this is kind of relitigating some of the arguments about AI that was had on Derpi and elsewhere, but to me it just feels like the term should be reserved for people who go beyond simple text prompting.

We already have the “AI generated” & “AI composition” tags for this distinction.
Personally i feel that it would be redundant to also have a distinction in creator tags for it. When there can be a neutral unified tag that can signify who made it, and then the Generated or Composition tags for what kind of image it is.

One of the reasons that i think we should unify the tags is because of users having to have separate tags to correctly tag there images.
For example i have seen one user that made an “artist” tag for themselves as the image they uploaded was a sketch using an AI image as base. And people following the users “Prompter” tag don’t see this image unless they stumble upon their profile and see that they also have an artist tag. I have seen several users that had to make a new creator tag to properly tag the image. With a unified tag a creator can put all their AI based art on one creator tag.

I guess “Creator” could work with more involved works that are more AI composition rather than purely AI generated that required significant editing or inputs outside of just prompts. However I think the other tags should remain, especially “Prompter,” given how many works are just generations and only involve prompts.

Hello Everypony (and other creatures),
we, the Staff have been discussing a topic which we would like the community’s opinion on.
Since the start of Tantabus there have been three sorts of creator tags. “Prompter”, “Editor” & “Artist”
Now, there has been talks in the staff channels to combine these three creator tags into a single tag.
The staff already came up with a few suggestions like keeping “Prompter” as the single unified creator tag, but we also thought of alternatives like “Creator” or “Director”. if you have any idea or preference what this tag should be called if it is decided to continue this change, we would love to hear it.
This does not impact the “AI generated” & “AI Composition” tags. These will be functioning the same if it is decided that we go through with this change.
We would like to know your opinion on this idea, if you think this change will be a good idea or not, and to help us with ideas what to name this unified tag.

X/day in general is really bad idea
X/week is somewhat fine
But in general you have filters
Just sort out low quality spammers and thats it

We disabled the commission listing here because of the experience on derpi of the overhead it creates while not actually having that much engagement. Basically plenty of people treat it as more than a listing and think the site itself is handling the listing or even acting as a middleman, and moderating that sort of stuff where money’s involved is… not great. Add to that the aspect of AI and art styles, our collective livers don’t need the extra punishment.
No issue with there being a thread or people linking stuff on their profiles and images, though.

There could be a market of people who would rather pay other people to make AI-generated pony-related images for them. People who don’t want to spend the time to learn the intricate ways of coaxing the best images out of a generator, or don’t want to put their money directly into a website that does image generations. Pay someone who’s already familiar with how to manipulate the software.

While we certainly appreciate the proposal, I think that what we have currently is okay and can just deal with the problem people as they arise.

The DB upload limits on AI (2/day as I recall) were straight up moral panic, since people could just as easily spam-upload their entire scanned sketch book or 50 different angles of their 3D scene. The specific targeting of AI was misguided, but the idea upload limits wasn’t without merit.
I’d like to propose a less restrictive (and fair) version for tantabus. It would help people fight the temptation to upload every generation from a session, and save viewers from seeing a wall of similar images when they first load the site. It shouldn’t feel punitive or be something that most people would run up against in ordinary usage, though. Maybe 10 / day?

This will mostly be used to highlight features specific to Tantabus, or that could be relevant to all users. For most updates and feedback you should check the thread on derpi, as that’s the primary for Philomena development.
Now with that said…

[March 19 2025]

- New search and tag suggestions

  • Go to Settings and Metadata (Fancy tags) and Local (search auto-completion) to enable
  • This will autosuggest tags as you type so long as they exist on an image
  • This will show if a suggestion is aliased
  • For searches, you can set to also keep search history

- CivitAI post scraper

  • The upload “Fetch” function now supports CivitAI /posts/# URLs
  • This will grab the images under a given CivitAI post, and you can select which to use
  • Direct image URLs aren’t supported (API limitation), but every image is part of a Post, even if it’s just one
  • Fetch still uses “artist:” instead of something more appropriate… we’ll work on that
