I can't believe it has only been a little over a year ago since we ran that silly Dall-E event. Having people submit their horrible pony abominations with technology that felt like it was another decade from actually going anywhere felt so harmless back then. Surely this was a nothingburger right...?
Turns out we were so completely wrong.
It only took a few more months before we started getting flooded with actual reasonably good art. This is what sparked those early artist protests, as they realized their work was used to train the models. Especially when our robot overlords were sneaking little broken signatures at the bottom where you'd usually find an artist signing things.
AI had a "style" though. There were people breaking away from it slowly, but for the most part after looking at enough you could usually tell. It also had a cost to play with it, via something like NovelAI's $25 a month subscription, or required good hardware in the case of running a local version of Stable Diffusion. Either way, there was a barrier to entry. That really isn't the case anymore here at the tail end of 2023. Microsoft and OpenAI have dropped Dall-e 3 on the world, and as someone who has to sort through hundreds of drawings a day, it has become a huge struggle to separate the human art from the computer.
Today I'm going to go into the problems of dealing with this tech, give examples of some of the chaos the submit box is currently dealing with, and essentially bring everyone up to speed on what to look out for... until the next breakthrough happens in a month or something. Continue below.

That's... a surprising amount of people not watching G5 on EQD! Hopefully a few of you give it a shot some day. It does explain the lack of interest in polls surrounding it though.

Someone going by the name of Shimermare over on Youtube has posted up a very interesting looking Fallout Equestria based game that is in the works. A top-down action game to be specific with ponies blasting things with guns in the wasteland.
There isn't much info at all outside of that outside of a proper announcement planned for October 21st! I guess we will keep an eye out for it?
