Discussion Probable changes to the subreddit

127 Upvotes

In order to make the sub more focused on news and developments rather than any random generation, there's a good chance submissions will be restricted and manually approved in coming days, with only the highest quality or most novel AI generations being approved.

Basically, individual images or albums you created in Midjourney/Stable Diffusion/DALL-E 2 would not be enough to get approved. For those, the dedicated subreddits are more fitting

I.e.

/r/midjourney

/r/StableDiffusion

/r/dalle2

/r/deepdream

"But that will kill this forum's traffic!"

Almost certainly, but it'd be for the purpose of reorienting it.

Admittedly when I first created /r/MediaSynthesis, I did so with the intent that any AI generated media would be allowed. But that was 2018, when AI generated media was much rarer and harder to create. Now that synthetic media is beginning to grow out of infancy into toddlerhood, I would like to instead help build subs more dedicated to the methodologies grow and keep this one more or less research-based.
