AI Art & Attribution

My concerns have been addressed but I do want to point out that the language used in the original post is directly contrary to your latest clarification, Lauren, and that is the source of the concerns.

From the original post:

"After this date, if we see uncredited artwork or AI art without the Firefly watermark on an active account, you will be subject to an art theft strike and removal of the artwork."

I do appreciate that this is ultimately not the stance you'll be taking, but it was originally stated this way.

The reason it is phrased this way is because the latter is genuine art theft (removing signature from a piece that had a signature on it), and the former will garner you a strike in certain situations.

Because we cannot possibly account for every single situation in every single way,  we have broad policies that address general themes.

I don't disagree with this. Like I said, my only concern was that it did very much seem like the intention was to treat this rule like an automated system rather than taking each scenario into account. I also don't disagree with the idea that members shouldn't need to be reminded to follow the rules. My suggestion for a warning came more from a place of not wanting a thoughtless mistake in the future to mean automatically ending up 1/3 of the way toward being permanently banned. I'm an incredibly forgetful person, and maybe that makes me dumb lmfao but I come here to have fun and not worry so much about getting details right all the time.
