In my talks with dragonfly, the only real rule is that it needs to be owl content.

My personal feelings are that I don’t like what blurs the kind between real and fake where it can be deceptive, and ones where people show something like a cake, furniture, textiles, something that is being passed off as a real product you can buy or that they made, but it isn’t.

AI art can be cheap, low effort content, and there is absolutely a lot of it out there. I’ve shared a few examples on here, and it’s gone about as well as what you’re seeing, so framed as a positive or negative, it doesn’t get the best reception here.

I’ve made some things using ArtBot, and while I occasionally get lucky, writing successful prompts to get something that is actually good is not as easy as one would think if they’ve never tried to make AI art.

I’m glad to see anyone participating here. Even after all my posting here, I feel I still have posts that I consider “failed” even if I think they’re great. I do some that break 200 upvotes that I think are pretty basic, while I have some I really like that didn’t get more than 50.

I’ll occasionally do a thing that I think the group will like more than I do, but I ultimately post things I’ve enjoyed and think you guys will too. I feel that’s what content should be. You won’t enjoy posting if you’re posting just what others want to see. If you’re posting what you love, I get that comes through, and people will enjoy your passion as much as the content itself. That’s a lot of the feedback I’ve gotten and have seen other places. Whenever you see things like “oh I’ve never thought much about X, but the way you talk about X has really caught my interest,” I think that is what begins the feedback loop of posting.

I don’t have any real issues with this post. I am primarily glad someone else posted something. I gave you an upvote for participating and your post is AI but not deceptive. You added a source link and made an original comment linking it to Bubo. You did everything you should.

The crowd will react however they will, and that’s their right. I think you at least benefit from having a good clue as to why they didn’t react to this the way you expected.

I hope this doesn’t negatively impact your overall experience here, as I like you for your regular comments and participation, and I wouldn’t want you to be discouraged.

These are just my personal feelings, and everyone is entitled to their own. I’m not the boss of anything here, I’m just here like the rest of you.
