Long time lurker, very infrequent poster, and find myself on this site less and less lately because , to put it bluntly and simply, the "content" has actually degraded quite a bit from what we used to get years ago. Nowadays, it seems this board is specifically highlighting 2-D "cartoon" style pictures and "animation", and a few people who use the same exact assets over and over again in photomanipulations of pictures from lingerie sites and softcore porn pics. "Oh look, its that same "face-off" effect but on a different picture!" Or another gaudy cartoon set from an amateur comic book artist. Creators like Xeran and Chevy Monza, some of the most talented people in this genre going back 20+ years, have left. It seems that half of what Kube puts up gets deleted immediately. This isn't only about "AI", this is about a small number of creators that are catered to by this site, some who are even allowed to post links and advertise their off-site AI work, while others are either censored or seemingly either run off or chose to leave. It is what it is. This used to be THE PLACE for "Fembot" content. Now we get cartoons and Manbot stuff, and long winded arguments about the ethical sourcing of AI image or video generators instead of what this and the iterations before were about - allowing people a place to enjoy a specific HARMLESS "fetish" or niche interest that is generally frowned on or treated like cancer in general normie society. I'm sure its been mentioned before, but how "ethical" is it to take a photo of some model from an ad site, porn pic, or wherever - plaster some open panels and wires on her with photoshop, and post the picture here for our enjoyment? Because lets be honest, that about 90% of what is on the Wiki Gallery going back the 20+ years from FAC and the Gynoid Gallery to now.
There are some INCREDIBLE artists here, 33, BA, DZiegler (The GOAT imo), Natalie, but far less than there used to be. I can't even imagine how incredible it would be to see some of their creations "brought to life" with some of the stuff that's available now, but apparently just the thought of using some AI video creation thing to augment an original picture makes certain people lose their minds. And worrying about someone spamming the board with "8,000 AI Slop Pictures" is a strange argument because if that was going to be an issue, wouldn;t it already have happened? Anyone can join this board, and any member can post pictures here (I don't know how the Wiki Gallery works), so at any point, couldn't someone just do that now? And they would need to be deleted and the offender banned - by creating a draconian solution to a hypothetical problem, you've just run long time contributors away.
I know no minds will be changed, because we can pretend its about "ethical sourcing" or what "REAL CREATORS" are, but bottom line is that its gatekeeping and it has damaged the site and the community more than Kube or Xerans AI creations ever could have, and that's messed up because having seen a bit of what Xeran and Chevy Monza have been up to, this board and its members are missing out.
