Hot take: The best rule you can have to avoid "art" slop is a requirement to give credit/attribution to the artist for anything you post.

@dalias @joachim yes and no. Note that there are, even here on mastodon, very AI generated "artists" with their own names, avatar, websites... but all the content is AI generated. You can give attribution all you want, it's just an AI bot wearing a mask. That will be more and more common going forward. Nerds with claiming openly they are "AI artists" was just a transition. Imho.

@dalias @joachim latest example I have in mind the account of [email protected]. I'm 95% sure this is just an AI bot in disguise, chugging images at too high and regular rate for it to be human, regularly sharing the links to their tshirt business..
And I have seen its production posted here with "attribution" even by people who are against "AI art".

@dalias @joachim which is against the terms of their instance even. But they don't look like an AI bot.

@Julianoe @joachim I don't see any obvious signs to back your claim. Rate of posting is several pieces per day, very doable. The folks I've seen boosting these are generally anti-slop and presumably think these are real.

@dalias @joachim that's where the difference between us is I suppose: from now on if I don't see any indication this is a real human i'll ASSUME it's an AI or AI generated content by default, not the reverse. I see absolutely no sign of human activity on this account.
