On AI filter Posts

Hey everyone,

There have been several posts today featuring images of BJDs that have been run through AI filters from various apps. The filters give the BJDs "human" or "anime" characteristics to make them look less like dolls.

After discussing it amongst ourselves and after observing how these kind of posts have fared in other BJD communities, the mods of r/BJD have decided to disallow AI filter posts.

The primary reason for this is that it detracts from and alters the actual appearance of the doll, which goes against the spirit of this sub and hobby.

Other reasons include the controversy surrounding the apps themselves, either due to privacy concerns or the ethics around AI artwork and how the assets are sourced.

While we understand this may be disappointing to people, we feel there are plenty of other internet communities where these posts would be welcome.

If anyone has any questions or concerns, feel free to voice them here.
