Please tag/content-warn your AI-generated images. I have yet to encounter one that *doesn't* make my stomach lurch due to how deep it is in the uncanny valley.

AI-powered image generation is a powerful tool that I desperately wish I could engage with. Unfortunately, my neurology is apparently incompatible with such things to such a degree that such images act like a low-level cognitohazard on me.

And I feel like an asshole asking for this.

@LexYeen requesting politely that AI images be not merely cut tagged but entirely demolished and their creators required to fucking pick up a pencil. It’s a “tool” that exists entirely to steal from and harm working people; not even flash bangs and tear gas are that intentionally designed to harm.
