I find "AI" (predictive text and image generators hyped up by doomerists) for both stories and images to be boring, annoying and the opposite of exciting - there's not a person on the other end telling you a story, it's just an unattributive search engine remixing existing stuff. Photoshoping a new head on an existing picture with 0 effort put into it has more artistic value, since at least an alive person made the hundred tiny decisions of which existing picture, which head, how low a quality they were satisfied with, etc.

I don't really have an opinion on thread vs board vs ban, but can we please stop the proliferation one way or another? It's really easy to flood the website with automatically generated images / writeups with all the artistic value of spam.
