After thorough consideration, we have decided to ban submissions of AI-generated art in /r/yuri.

AI tools for generating digital art became broadly available recently. You may have already noticed the AI-generated artworks and the vivid discussions surrounding them.

The AI tools usually use publicly available artworks as a source for the machine learning process, often without permission from the artists. Besides this issue, human artists are put at a disadvantage when sharing their works in the same online space. The AI tools don't need human skills and time to generate content in an exceedingly higher quantity when compared to human artists.

Since our subreddit has always thrived on artworks that have been publicly shared by their creators, we have decided to side with the human artists in this situation and disallow submissions of AI-generated artworks.
