It's overdue that we had some discussion about modern generative techniques, their impact on r/Blender, and what kind of changes the community would like to see made in response.

This matter is almost certainly the single most controversial issue this community has seen, and it's also perhaps the hardest to cleanly address. I don't believe that a single change or a single discussion with the community will be enough to address the impact of these new technologies so I intend to hold multiple discussions to work fine details out.

For now, I'd like to start things off as simply as possible by asking that the community express any complaints they may have about how these new techs have affected r/Blender.

Edit: I feel I should clarify:

Pieces which have been made exclusively/predmoninantly using generative AI are already against the rules, and that has always been the case.

Specifically, rule #2 which has existed for longer than these technologies has always prohibited them.

I want the focus here to be on the tangible impacts you have observed generative AI having on how you interact with r/Blender.
