@shmeebdingyy's post on Artfol

Okay whoa so I missed some stuff today apparently šŸ’€

So I guess I just wanna make it clear that I don’t think AI images should be allowed on artfol. Sure it can be a nice tool to play around with for fun/inspiration, but posting it as artwork on a platform like artfol just doesn’t seem right, for every reason you’ve probably heard a thousand times today already.
And while yes, the thought of AI being allowed on here is scary and frustrating, please don’t jump to any conclusions just yet and keep updated with the official @artfol account along with their other socials.
They’re still discussing the matter, and there’s a lot of misinformation about the whole thing rn.

Also pls pls pls don’t harass the devs šŸ™ I totally understand that a lot of y’all are angry about this whole thing, but harassment is never okay under any circumstances. They’re a small team, and they’re just people like you and me doing their best to listen to us, and make this community better. Please just be patient with them. Thanks for reading, take care of ur selves :)

@finflippingtastic @white_mercury I think the situation is (and take this with a grain of salt bc I’m not 100% sure abt the whole thing either) they briefly mentioned something on their Twitter about currently allowing AI images to be posted on artfol, but they need to be tagged as such and they can’t be passed off as original artwork. I guess people kind of misinterpreted that as artfol supporting AI completely and they received a lot of backlash for it. They’re just now accepting feedback here on their official account and on discord and other socials, and working with users on how to handle this whole AI thing. Although artfol is so attentive with its user base, and I doubt they’ll just let it be as is with the response they got

Idk what happened, but if Arfol "accepts" AI images i think I'll be frustrated cause the app will be submerged of AI art. Artfol is made FOR ARTIST,, not machines 😩 i dont think i won't post anymore, but i know i will get less known bc of this
