How does rule34 handle the absolutely gargantuan amount of AI generated porn that it's filled with now? I know storage is cheap but surely there has to be some kind of limit put in place at some point. Thousands of AI generated posts submitted every hour. The website is 95% AI slop now. It cant be cheap and they make no money from it.
>>109615046Easy: Everyone is lying to you about storage and traffic costs. Literally everyone.
>>109615052To clarify traffic is basically free and storage isn't an issue if you aren't retarded. The secret is don't use FAGMAN cloud services that bill you 40 times for each individual GET request.
>>109615046Why accept it in the first place? Also, that bat is going up someone's ass.
>>109615046pixiv and exhentai have an option to filter AI slop, sites that don't are basically dead.Long term I'd expect new sites that don't allow it. And other sites following / completely segregating it.>>109615067It's just lazy admins / don't give a fuck
>>109615139rule34 also has an AI filter but the ratio is like 15 or 20 AI images per 1 real piece of art
>>109615139I was confused since when sadpanda allows ai shit and then I remembered misc exists aka ai shit before ai shit was a thing.
is picrel ai slop or not asking for a fri
>>109615648Smitty's stuff is real, he uses models in some kind of 3D modelling software
>>109615686a tru master of a dying cræft
>>109615781so many potential artists of Smitty's caliber lost to typing prompts for eternity
>>109615830Not to be a turd, but 3d modeling is another way of rendering an image. Ai models can render images. They can render something good unintentionally but a skilled promoter and artist will have a specific vision and will be able to consistently extract images that match that vision.
>>109615929Depends on the tag really. The more autistic and niche you get it filters out more people using their prebuilt store PC to generate their goon material.
>>109615961The biggest pain my in ass is that recently I saw an AAA studio concept art tier smut of a Battle Sister and I had to double check if this was AI. I miss the simple times when you saw a nicely done piece and could appreciate it without thinking
>>109615139>option to filter AI slopI'm aware, but shouldn't administrators be more pragmatic with consideration to storage costs? Every site has gotten nuked with low-effort AI shit.>>109615929MR. ADVERTISER, GET DOWN!
It's annoying as fuck but at least they added a damn toggle.
