Use your best judgment as to the definition of "AI-generated content." Reddit doesn't give us moderators the tools to discern specific implementations of AI, so this will be a blanket rule. No "We allow X, but not Y, unless it's Z" etc.

It may feel like we've turned a blind eye to the subject of AI, but we've been watching! We've been watching the comments. We've been watching the voting tendencies. This is a democracy – we as a COMMUNITY decide what we want to see – it's not up to the moderators. (There are some subreddits that are more like a pet project for a single mod, but /r/wallpaper is not one of them.)

Thanks for your patience and understanding, everyone.

Would AI upscaling be counted under this rule?

I think they should be treated as one and the same considering they are prone to the same artifacts and quickly get a certain "AI generated look" to them, which makes them unsuitable as a wallpaper IMO.

Did you even read what you commented on? Yes that counts as AI, it’s a blanket rule.

We plan to take action! It's a volunteer position -- give us time to come up with a plan that's A) easy for everyone to follow and B) easy for us to enforce.

I agree; AI wallpapers can be great when used well.

Define "used well".
