I hate AI. Genuinely despise it; and up until a few days ago, I had never been duped into paying money for something that was AI generated (people really should be required to state yes or no if they use it). I'm kind of inexperienced in map-making, but other than eyeballing it (Which works great for everything other than cartography assets) and ascertaining by workload and output, I feel like there's not a definitive way to actually figure out if a person is AI-Generating their stuff.

The only reason I mention this is because a creator I bought some stuff from (before Etsy randomly banned me about 10 minutes after making my account, tyvm) has their works on Cartographyassets and they're marked as AI-Generated. Is there a specific way that this is applied?

Does the account maker mark them that way on their own, or does the website do it? Should there maybe be a megathread or something of the sort to list all of these creators?

Hi, as the title says. When I use cartographyassets.com, it is EXTREMELY slow. Loading pages takes multiple minutes, changing the filters takes multiple minutes; it wasn't making any sense to me. Sure, wordpress sites are usually super slow.

But today, I got this notification (see image) after opening the site for the first time. This isn't the first time I've gotten this warning from a website, and in fact I get these a lot.. but I don't run bots and I don't do anything malicious, and I use Opera GX as my web browser so that can't be it.

Is there something within my computer or network that is causing this or is it just the website being itself? And more importantly, is there anywhere else I could go?

As the title says. I know this question has been asked to death, but times change quite often and I can't seem to find anything on this topic that's current or useful.. I'm a highly experienced roleplayer (14 years) and I run (according to some) one of the most detailed original literate sci-fi roleplay servers on Discord, but I kind of want to do a bit of stuff on Starbound on a server with a decent number of people.

Since I'm not really "in the loop" anywhere, is there any luck for me or am I kind of screwed due to the gatekeeping/whitelisting?
