Hello all.

Recently, we've had an issue pop up that is not something we've had to deal with in the past. While we appreciate that AI generated artwork takes many working hours, we have come to the conclusion, after much discussion, that it would not be ethical for us to host it on Y!gallery for various reasons.

There is the problem with lesser vetted AI generators when it comes to things like overfitting, if it was trained on a smaller amount of images, or if it wasn't validated correctly. This may cause it to turn out images that too closely resemble a real person. There's also the issue that AI generated art may steal parts of other artists or photographers work to create a new image. Since we have no way to guarantee that this will not happen when using such generators, we sadly must disallow AI generated art from being posted to the site.

To this end, we've implemented a new rule, which you can find listed now in our ToS as Rule 2e. We're very sorry if this causes any inconvienience, but we hope you'll understand our reasoning in putting in this new rule.

Thank you,
Your Y!gallery Staff
