Renderotica

There has been a fair bit of conversation in the Forums about AI art and the Pros and Cons and some friendly arguments over real versus not. In the end, we at Renderotica have no opposition to people wishing to make AI generated art and post it to our Gallery. We have a Category specifically for this very reason. We are also working on enabling a preference for AI art so that people can choose whether they wish to see it or not.

In the end, it's another form of imagery and we are happy to see it in the galleries. 

Due to the fact that AI generated art cannot be copyrighted, (artnews article link) we have decided to take the position of not allowing it to compete in the Render Contests. The spirit of these contests are to have artists create new, unique, original works, using their skills in Daz or Poser, to generate, compose, pose, adding materials, textures and lighting, then rendering and finishing in whatever post work software they work in. These types of Rendered images can be copyrighted and are therefore eligible to compete in our Contests.

We do allow AI generated or enhanced products to be sold on the site, however, they must clearly be marked as AI generated or enhanced so customers can decide for themselves if they wish to purchase it.
