AI-generated background and AI-assisted

Posted under Tags

BUR #50320 has been approved by @nonamethanks.

category ai-generated_background -> meta

AI-assisted "includes posts where an artist used an AI-generated background", and so should be implied.

Category change is to allow:
create implication ai-generated_background -> ai-assisted

That BUR can't be made until this BUR is approved.

Shouldn't AI-generated background have been categorized with AI-assisted and AI-generated in the first place?

That's probably because we're conditioned to relate our AI tags to the subject of the post rather than everything altogether. I'd imagine it'd also confuse the few people who are okay with the backgrounds being generated or touched up given the many cute examples of posts in ai-generated_background -ai-assisted at the time of posting. Feels like a precedent we could flare up early though while the tag is still at a low count.

I think it's fine to recategorise this since this tag is a description of the post/media itself, not the image. Where I might get antsy is an implication. That is to say: I agree with the meh votes but for the wrong step of the BUR.

The wiki just poached the entire text from KnowYourMeme and people are tagging it with AI tags even though the text says it's "allegedly" generated, though if that were the case then it most likely would count since that's the "reference" part of the AI-assisted tag which doesn't require that the artist uses AI, only that they referenced or traced from it. AI-generated art (topic) also has some examples in the wild.

In general though, yes it would still count, because the subjects of the image have been drawn over but the AI aspect remains. The only difference between fully using an AI meme as a background and that example post is this is a gif caption (meme).
