4Real..

Already waited for that topic to pop off.

I agree to @Death in terms of thumbnails and also paid plugins.
They obviously shouldn't completely made by AI, for the simple fact that it very unlikely to be well maintained for the future and AI generated thumbnails just look awful to be honest. I mean its really not that hard to use a mix of cinematics and common photo editing software like photoshop or something like that. Even for those who don't feel comfortable with photo editing software, there are some that have AI assistant functionality's to insert stuff like text's or manipulate the cinematic pictures that you want to use. Just don't use entirely AI made slop because it's still clearly visible and makes the side look less HQ when all shown thumbnails look like they came out of the exact same s**t bucket.
From a customers point of view, over the last couple of month I noticed that AI thumbnail takeover too by the way. Think it's also not encouraging people to buy a plugin with an AI generated thumbnail because if the creator of it does put that less effort in his work, how does that possibly reflect the quality of the plugin he made. Could be just AI pasted together crap that negatively affects server performance and/or stop's working after Rust's next patch and will never be fixed possibly.

AI is definitely a very powerful tool but it should be used as a TOOL and not more. You won't let a hammer build a house for you, even if he could do it faster as any construction worker ever could, you could never know if this house would be safe to live in at the end of the day.

But I think it's pretty problematical to figure out if it's completely or maybe 90% AI generated code or not?? (no coding experience here so far)
And the downside could be that creator that just use it to get there work done and don't rely on AI entirely can't use it as a tool at all anymore.. but I guess you guys can tell very quick what's completely AI coded and what not.

I think it's never a good thing to completely ban a type of technology that can be pretty helpful if it's used in the right way.
Maybe consider to just reject paid products and thumbnails that are AI generated.

@all have a nice day and a wonderful and productive weekend!!
