Disallow the use of AI imagery
Disallow the use of AI imagery in the Path of Titans discord. I have a few points on why it should not be allowed or tolerated here.
1. AI harms artists
> AI “art” (hard quotes) steals from art that artists post online. It is very easy for someone to save art and then put it through an AI generator to make their own version. There are COUNTLESS cases of art being stolen and copied for users of AI to ‘use’.
2. AI is harmful to the environment.
> The production of AI, unsurprisingly, is extremely harmful to the environment. It takes a lot of fossil fuels to burn as thousands upon thousands of these images are created.
3. It can be misinforming/harmful
> AI imagery has been used to create images of animals, creatures, people, and even worse things like CSAM, SA, etc. AI can also produce videos of people doing things or even scenes in a surprisingly good quality. Take the AI commercial for Coca Cola for example.

Very much agree.
Considering this game has a thriving artist fanbase. And the game itself created itself by many skilled artists. The fact that AI images are at all allowed in the server, especially in the art posting area is extremely sad to see. Feels like a slap in the face to the true creatives in this community, considering how much information there is out there showing how detrimental Image gen is both to working artists, and the environment.
Lets support both the people who show their love for the game via art, and the wonderful artists who work in this industry some solidarity. The least we can do is ban it from the official servers. (And lets be honest. Most people who have been posting it are just spamming. Or doing it for a reaction.) -

RichardIt isn’t that serious and the fact this is a pressing issue in the path of titans community is pathetic. Focus on the game not a channel in the discord server. This shouldn’t be some massive issue that the devs need to tackle, because news flash ai is sadly the future. You cannot avoid it.

JinxExactly!!!!!!!
Plus it doesn't just burn fossil fuels, it also takes up thousands, millions if not billions of gallons of water PER question asked. On a DAILY basis.
It's not only disrespectful to Mother Nature, it's also very disrespectful to genuine artist as AI STEALS from them.
There should be a rule against posting AI slop on the server. Period. There's no arguing with this.
