I've been caught out in a recent post I made of a Youtube DJ mix that used AI art in the video (I didn't actually watch the video: that's on me). I've also seen some comments about album artwork being AI in some posts.

From a personal standpoint: I don't want to hear/see generative AI stuff, and I don't want to intentionally promote it. However, it's impossible to determine with 100% accuracy if something uses gen AI, so any kind of approach to monitoring it is going to be best-effort.

I'd like to hear this community's thoughts. Would you like there to be a community policy for the exclusion of gen AI content?

If it's made by fascists, 100% ban.
If it's generated on solar punk devices, then it's technically gothcore witchcraft, and should be allowed.

I think most of us do not want to support fascists, and that is the primary concern. But I don't mind goth synthesized melodies: that's the entire point of our craft.

I also don't want to hear generated song, so I'd like to see a policy banning AI content. Mistakes will happen though and that's OK. I'd rather see some AI stuff posted and flagged rather than folks feeling afraid to post anything.

Generated artwork is a tricky one though. Industrial has always been subversive with using extreme imagery to expose things. I can sort of see how AI art can be undesirable but also fitting the aesthetic and concept. I guess if done right it could be OK, but that's really subjective. Slop art should be right out though.

I also vote for banning AI music from this sub.

As far as AI art goes, I'm also mostly against it, but don't really care if I see it here - it'd just make me personally skip the song alltogether, but if the music is real, then they should get a chance for visibility.

I like the AI art, I don't like the music. With that said, it's not easy to tell them apart sometimes. I will do my best to keep from posting AI music. I don't make that promise for the art.
