The future was yesterday.

Cool pics of cool retro-ish stuff.

If I know an image was made with AI, I’ll label it as AI. Beyond that, I’m not gonna spend time investigating how every image was created. If it looks interesting, I post it. Whether it came from a camera, Photoshop, an artist, or AI isn’t something I take too seriously.

If you know how an image was made, feel free to say so. If you don’t know, don’t worry about it.

Rule 1: No serial downvoting or trolling just because you don’t like AI.

Rule 2: AI is fine. If it looks cool, it is cool, babe! Label if ya want. Or not. I don’t care.

Rule 3: Be civil.

Rule 4: Don’t just call content “slop,” or use similar insults, unless you also contribute content yourself.

If you don’t like these rules, I suggest you create you own community with your own rules. Lemmy can always use more content!
