Thoughts on preemptively banning Gen-AI? (ttrpg.network)

I've been reading about the user revolt on the Twin Peaks subreddit calling for a ban on AI art. As best I can tell we don't really have people posting AI stuff here yet, but I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to ban it before it becomes a problem. I'm soliciting feedback from y'all on this, please let me know what you prefer.

If someone doesn't care enough about their product to actually do work on it, why should I care about looking at it? If I wanted to see AI generated slop, I'd go to one of the many megacorps that'll generate it for me rather than paying some guy on Itch.io.

    That is right. But that is not what all AIGen stuff is. If someone creates a cool adventure but uses AIGen to make their fluff box sound like a radio speaker because they lack the skills to make it so, is that a not caring enough?

    Nope, it isn't.

    Cheaters should never be allowed to prosper. It undermines the entire idea that creative work is of value, and will inevitably lead to a day when artists are seen as as much of a piece of scum on someone's shoe as cashiers are.

    I think we are way past the point when creative work is enough

    So you're arguing so hard to replace artists because you already don't value them?

    No. For one I don't believe it will replace artists. What I expect is that we will never be able to hold wotc, hasbro, etc to this standard. Which means they'll have an even higher advantage against one-person creators
    The artists working for big ones will be using AIGen to speed up their work. Same as using search engines to find info and references
    Creators for which the AIGenned cover is enough, won't commission a real artist anyway
    I'm afraid that such rule here ( meaning we are social network, not the shop) would skew the scale towards the big ones - they'll be getting more coverage, even here

    I'm thoroughly unconvinced by the argument that because giant corporations are doing evil things, the little guy ought to as well in order to "compete", and treating "AI" art as the only kind that will be posted either way.
