It is very easy to see hypocrisy in the FurAffinty statement: "Human artists see, analyze and even sample other artists’ work to create content. That content generated can reference hundreds, even thousands of pieces of work from other artists that they have consumed in their lifetime to create derivative images,” ... “Our goal is to support artists and their content. We don’t believe it’s in our community’s best interests to allow human generated content on the site."

It's most of all not in the best interest of GI's bank account when people learn that they can generate any image they desire - for free.

Seems like a statement of intent without any details. How do they define 'AI-generated'? And do they plan to automatically detect it, and how?

I guess images generated by computer systems that use if/else technology and mathematical vectors. /s

That's probably how lawyers will put it.

generated images =/= created

AI generated images have the potential to be art in the eyes of the beholder, but let's not pretend that generation is the same as the mental, physical, and spiritual flow state that goes into painting or drawing a piece.

I don't mean to be dismissive, but there's no doubt there'll be plenty of other places to host images like this.

Does Stable Diffusion and the like automatically add some kind of steganographic code to images so it can be automatically detected, e.g. and not added to future training sets? Obviously this could be removed deliberately, but it would prevent the vast majority of cases.
