Hello and welcome to my little nitpick corner. I know the side is young and all, but we need a quality standard. And I’m not talking about AI mistakes. AI is not it its infancy anymore and it is really easy to generate general good looking ponies these days. (Especially since they don’t have hands.)
You can’t tell me this aren’t gen-dumps. Just by following any guide/video and using a free online gen you get better looking results. I picked these examples at random from the last ten 5-6 pages, but there are so many more.
We need a bare minimum beyond “please only whole ponies, not disfigured garbage”. To quote rule #9:
We strive to create a community that showcases the best of what AI has to offer, from raw generations to artworks that used AI as part of their creation process.

Fortunately, you can hide tag “2022” to not see most of these images, but yeah, I don’t see a point in uploading over 100 very low quality images by this person.

Most of these come from the pony AI infancy and some consider them artifacts or interesting for showing how things have progressed.
I can see about poking to skip on the worst of the worst, though.

If old gens are kept for “historical value” and to show general progression, I guess one alternative could be to add tags like “low quality, early ai” etc to them, and have those tags in the default filter?

Please use links to images on site if they are on the site so people can go to the direct pages themselves. I edited them for you.

Okay, that is a reason. But do we need to spam the site with them because of this? A few examples and then a collage would do the same trick. The recent 4-5 sites (with default filter) are flooded with them.
@Thoryn
And hide them by default, so people have to opt in instead of out. These are, after all, old faulty pictures. In general we need a low quality tag. “Slob” was one of the main reason why the separation happened and I can see why. If you have a low quality doodle, at least someone tried and put time into it to produce it. Low quality slob gens I can put out 100+ an hour. We need a filter, we need to be a little “picky” with the pictures, since it is so easy to generate garbage. We don’t want the already few people interested in AI (other than us who produce AI pics) see all the slob and leave. What I am talking about (few random picked examples):
Any decent model can produce better quality with a few words in the prompt. This screams “I was to lazy to read the description” or “I was to lazy to read a quick tutorial”.

Thanks, will do.

A lot of the “poor quality” images I uploaded. They’re old things I thought were good at the time they were originally made so saved and thought to share now that there’s a place for it. Maybe the original creators would get a kick out of seeing it again.
Will stick to just “the good stuff” now. Maybe a few “funny” things.
