This could be solved on basically all arti communities by simply putting in a post limit per day. Say an artist can only upload 5 images per day or something, why would someone need to upload more than that?

But now everyone's an artist.

So what? Are you the appointed gatekeeper on who's an artist? If you are then you won't be out of work any time soon.

I mean, practically it means that you haven't solved the problem of "now the website is flooded with content". Arguably, the core problem is just that the premise of the website fundamentally doesn't scale to having too much of a maybe-good thing.

No, I was talking in the context of the discussion thread. Everyone being an artist isn't a problem.

But when communities are flooded with cheap-to-make art - even if the art is pretty good - the community becomes a worse place to be.

More like one image per X days. I don’t care how many different things you can type into an AI in a given period of time. I only want to see the best of the best of the best.

This is like when we discovered stereo recording, and mixers would put tracks at either 100% left or 100% right, just to show off the novelty of it.

Or when 3D movies became ubiquitous and every movie (even those shot completely without the third dimension as a consideration) got released in 3D.

Once the novelty wears off, I imagine things will be better.

For now, it’s just a deluge of low-effort, yet high (relative to traditionally produced art) apparent quality artworks.

> Say an artist can only upload 5 images per day or something, why would someone need to upload more than that?

There's been more than a few days when I've uploaded more than 5 images a day to flickr/Instagram (according to my backup, I uploaded 27 images to Instagram on 2007-02-04 during a day-long walk.)

Or just add tags, so people could filter out AI generated content if they don't like it?

because they're migrating there from another platform

When digital effects and CGI began to replace stop-motion monster effects in movies, the stop motion artists screamed that art made on a computer was not art, and that their industry would be lost.

Nowadays we know better, not only is digital art accepted everywhere on earth, it's almost expected, and as for the stop-motion folks, they're still in business! Movies still come out every year, some of them with huge budgets (like Coraline) that use stop-motion because it has a certain look and feel that is all its own. AI art will only get better, but so will the ways we use it, and the people who are actually ARTISTS will be the furthest ahead, and leading the way.

Jurassic Park was right at the tipping between stop motion and CGI. Corridor Crew with John Berton Jr. ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0078237/ ) https://youtu.be/j8JgN_srwCc?t=921 discuss the change and how Phil Tippett ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Tippett ) who was the "master of dinosaur animation" changed the industry... And the first thing that they did was hire him as the animation director and other stop motion artists.

This wasn't a "they were out a job" - it was a they changed how they did what they did.
