It's prohibited by the first rule of the subreddit.

Cyberpunk isn't just a cool aesthetic. It's a critique of how technology is abused by capitalists to exploit people, strip us of our humanity, and destroy the world. Don't create the torment nexus.

It looks like shit and you're a loser for using it instead of putting some heart, inspiration, and energy into your own art, writing, or code. And it's making you dumber and lazier. Please show us you care about something. I know it's hard, but it's worth it.
Most of you have been great about downvoting and reporting this when you see it. Please keep it up! It helps out our community a lot.
And if you disagree with this post and want to argue or ignore it, take heed of the previous paragraph: our users demonstrably do not want this slop and downvote it to 0 every single time. You're wasting your time.

Incredible post, thank you to the mod team.
If you are reading this, you are the resistance.
Thank you thank you thank you
It’s the small things that keep me on this site.
Thanks!
Not arguing against this rule. I am not a fan of nearly all AI art and most AI content in general but the irony is pretty thick none-the-less.
Nothing like reality ruining your fantasy.
Very appropriate 😂
fuck yeah
Hell yeah
Perfect! Well, it aligns with cyberpunk culture, thank you!
Based, fuck AI
Love to see it. Thanks, mods.
I agree but maybe a warning before a perma ban would be less harsh for people that forget to read the rules
100% agree
Thank you for having good principles and the balls to implement them.
sweet sweet irony, may your blessed spirit never leave us
Excellent.
logical point of view, deemed to fail though. some people will post AI and no one will notice while others will post their own work and will be classified as AI. unfortunately we are beyond the point where it is easy to differentiate ..
hell yeah, thanks mods!
Brilliant! Well done to the mods for taking a stand on this.
It’s so disheartening seeing crappy, half baked AI slop everywhere on reddit now – it’s shocking how quickly so many ppl abandoned their own creativity in favour of that of a poorly cobbled together set of algorithms.
I wish the reddit devs would take a firmer stand on it, but I’ll happily accept mods and communities policing it themselves, if we keep getting positive results like on this sub! 🙂
finally
Banning technology in a subreddit named cyberpunk is about the most dumb and ironic thing ever.
Good reddit mods? Impossible.
Hell yeah!!
Mods who actually give a fuck, based
Cool
Thanks
Honestly, almost every subreddit I follow seems to be dead or has biased moderators and both types are absolutely flooded with slop posts.Â
Thanks for doing a great job mods. It’s helping keep the “community” element of this site alive.Â
Nice!Â
Cyberpunk banning AI is hilarious. I love it, because I know the irony is lost to the void.
How incredibly ironic lmao. Nothing more punk than going with the mainstream opinion of the reddit bubble. Wrong side of history. Imo.
This is an opinion. Chill.
Appreciate you, seriously. This is a sub that could easily get filled with AI slop images and I appreciate not seeing them here.
Only hand drawn slop allowed.
Even though I do like AI and think the dead internet theory is very cyberpunk, I have no problem with this decision. It makes sense on a cyberpunk of all places
mods calling people losers for using AI to write code. I’m out.Â
People trying to defend the ai crap we get in here has some kind of cyberpunk movement or something when it is a bunch of prepubers posting images of their dream bedroom they made in ai or their cyberpunk wifi they make in ai.
Fuck yeah.
well but i hope you give the benefit of the doubt and – in best case: provide a prove that something is ai-generated.
Shitty art could also be made by a beginner not just AI.
Fuckin finally, I say more and more people need to stick it to AI garbage in our internet spaces, shits a damn plague across our shared hallucination and I for one want human-made crowdsourced garbage instead.
