The biggest story here isn't about art or AI. The most interesting part of this story is that moderation on Reddit is so horrifyingly and provably awful.

If an art sub-reddit, with limited commercial or political manipulation value is moderated so badly, you have to wonder what happens on subreddits that might actually be able to influence politics or commerce and that smart people with resources are trying to wield to their own benefit.

I suspect (I may be wrong) that most of the moderators on the bigger subreddits have patrons in one way or another.

In my experience Reddit mods are in general jaded intolerant assholes. I’m sure this is because the Redditors they deal with are in general jaded intolerant assholes.

That's rich. First a job-robbing AI is trained on your work. Then you are banned because your work (which predates the AI!) looks to much AI generated. I can't get from the article whether the artist was reinstated or not.

Not. With ridiculous rationalization: “we fucked up, but if we admit it, the trolls win”.

It seems other redditors are presenting some evidence for it potentially being AI-generated:

Reading further, it's probably not AI art, but the sketches at least did lift some artwork from somewhere else:

And in many cases below 18 years as nobody seriously have to do moderator tasks.

There is considerable economic value in being able to control the eyeballs that visit the large subreddits, so it's expected that mods will want to monetise their power somehow.

r/HailCorporate sometimes goes overboard with their paranoia, but they also have clear evidence of how much reddit is gamed by users such as u/gallowboob
