The global human population, currently at roughly 8.3 billion, has substantially exceeded the Earth's long-term biocapacity, which models indicate can sustainably support only about 2.5 billion people at a comfortable living standard. This severe biological overshoot has been temporarily masked by the intense extraction of fossil fuels and the rapid depletion of natural resources.

That seems to be a genAI image without an explicit label of such being displayed on mastodon.social

The rules of this instance have explicit labelling required.

Is it a genAI image?

The image is part of the linked article, not part of the post.

Mastodon automatically pulls in an image from a linked article, but this is a Mastodon thing. On my non-Mastodon instance, I don't even see the image.

It appears in a post on the Mastodon app.
It appears on mastodon.social
It has no label that it is AI.
This image appears to be in violation of instance rules.

That the aparently AI image is in a link might not exempt the Post as displayed from having to stay inside the boundaries of instance rules.

One all AI images created are built on my computer, not the web. Ends your data center issue. I'm lesbian, American indian, so no LGBTQ or ethical issues. AI images are not being posted, they are on my site linked by Mastodon and not me.
