A recent post in c/main has sparked interest in finding a new sidebar banner for our instance. The current one is AI generated, and was chosen by our users from a bunch of other AI-generated submissions. It has been three years since then. Also, the mood toward AI has shifted. Maybe it's time for something new, and human-made?

This post is a place to collect submissions for new banner artwork. Put your art in the comments below! We plan to leave this post open for two weeks, and hold a vote on Friday, Sept. 11.

good lord, people hate on ai then submit dogshit for images and want people to do work for free, it’s hilarious:

ai art steals work from artists!!!!

ok then if any actual artists want to step up feel free to

crickets

i guess thanks to the anti ai people for giving another reason why ai art is useful even if it isn’t 100% accurate

    Gosh, I wonder why more artists aren't active on the instance with the AI banner image. Surely, the lack of artists justifies the hostility towards artists and doesn't create a vicious cycle.

    Those dogshit images are a vast improvement to AI.
