We have decided to label this post as "Suspected AI Imagery". Here's how we came to this conclusion, as an example of our process. It takes time and effort, and we try to make our due diligence as much as possible. First, there is no known source for this video. No news coverage. 1/6

At the end of the day what people keep asking for is the ability to know when something is or is not AI so they can make their own informed choices about how they interact with it. Hopefully tools like SynthID become widespread so it doesn't fall on the user to make their own determinations.

Sampling of some of these tools, in no particular order, on the same image. Using these is virtually the same as tossing a coin.

This is why you have to be careful with AI detectors. Some of them are a lot more accurate than others, and none of them are perfect! Our icon was made by two of our artist volunteers. Here is the original concept and some of the iterations they went through.

We've updated so that you can now also make appeals directly through our query page! query.aimod.social Of course users can also still appeal through Bluesky by clicking on the tag in question and then "appeal."

Hey everyone! 👋 I want to share an update on @aimod.social:

Thank you to everyone who put your trust in the @aimod.social labeler. Your support means the world to me and the whole team. The project is officially restarting, but I am stepping down from my role.

While I had an amazing team alongside me and the work we did felt fulfilling and meaningful, being the primary public face took a toll. Between the massive time commitment of moderation and the stress of navigating disputes over mistaken labels, I realized it is time for me to step back and focus on other projects.

As a team, we collectively decided to pause the labeler recently. We needed that time to overhaul our methods and revise terminology to ensure the project is done right, better serves the community, and protects the people who give so much of themselves to keep @aimod.social operational.

The labeler is in great hands with the same amazing team. I can’t express enough just how incredible they are and how dedicated they’ve been to protecting and informing the art community. Please keep an eye out for an official update from the @aimod.social account! (side note: they will likely need more volunteers soon, too!)

I am passing the baton and stepping away from project duties, but I'll always be rooting for them.

Thank you all for the support. ❤️

—Davis

ANNOUNCEMENTS AND UPDATES! Thank you for your patience, everyone. Yes, we are back.

Hello everyone!

Sorry we’ve been gone so long, we know you all have missed us. Your support has meant a lot to us, truly.

As some of the more perceptive of you have noticed, we are back up! We need a little time to crank up the engines again, but we’re moving as fast as we can.

First, to address some concerns: No, we weren’t banned, and no we weren’t in any trouble. We paused the service ourselves, and it was always meant to be a temporary hiatus. It just took a bit longer than intended.

To put it simply, AIMod had gotten a lot bigger than anyone on the team ever thought it would. We decided that we needed to take a breather and figure out how to best address some of the concerns we’d been hearing from the community as well as implement some extensive technical overhauls.

In short, we put things on hold while we made some big changes under the hood.

Updates:

In pursuit of complete transparency, we have added a ton of information to our handbook about who we are and how we work. There is also now an extensive section on AI detection for anyone who wants to know what methods we use to make our labeling choices.

We have added a query system so you can check if you have any AI labels on any post on your account, all without subscribing to the service.

Our honorable founder, @davis.social, has stepped down from their role and will no longer be taking an active role in running the service. This is an amicable departure - he just has a lot on his plate and, to be completely honest, people were being very mean to him.

A bit more on this. We now believe that: - It depends on which PDS the viewing account is located. - It's transient, as in, it eventually syncs up with time. Additionally: It ALSO happens when we remove a label. It keeps showing for hours or days before eventually disappearing for everyone.

We are seeing a new problem with the labeler. We have no idea if it affects other labelers, but we're wondering if it has anything to do with the temporary suspension that happened on the account. Basically, labels stop showing for SOME people. Example for this post here: bsky.app/profile/did:...

We've been getting some confusion regarding some recent changes happening with the labeler, specifically people being added to lists out of the blue, so here's an update that we hope should clarify things. As always, this labeler is for all of you, so let us know if you run into any issues. 😊

After recieving frequent requests we have created a new label category: AI-Informative. With this label you can continue to use the AI Image labeler without missing reports ABOUT AI usage that may be relevent to you. If you wish to continue seeing no AI at all make sure to update your settings.

Al Informative - The post includes Al Imagery but is itself not the primary source and is specifically used in the context of education, examination, or critical evaluation. This includes spreading awareness of Al usage by third parties. For example Al detection guides, screenshots of user posts, game footage, advertising or product photos that contain Al.

Another thing to look out for, besides AI prompters claiming to be human artists, are users who claim things like, "I shouldn't be labeled for AI because I trained my own model." That statement isn't accurate for a couple of reasons. 🧵 1/4

Hi subscribers! We've updated our settings! You can now choose to "show badge" instead of "warn" on all our labels. (Bluesky's options allow a label to offer only one of these at a time.) While "warn" hides post contents (handy for NSFW content), it may be less useful for AI images. 1/2

There are many reasons to be concerned about genAI. Here are just a few that we've listed in our @aimod.social docs.

### **Consent**

AI-generated images involving the likeness of real individuals without consent.

### **Misinformation**

AI-generated images in spreading misinformation or manipulating users.

### **Training Data**

Numerous generative AI services have used data for training that was not appropriately licensed, or the source of their training data was not clearly identified.

### **Mimicry of Living Artists**

AI imagery can replicate the style or work of active living artists, which may directly impact individual creators.

### **Resource consumption**

The generation of AI imagery requires substantial resources, like water and electricity.

### **Exploitive labor**

Reports [indicate](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/08/28/scale-ai-remotasks-philippines-artificial-intelligence/) AI training involves unethical labor practices.

We want to make sure our labeler is something you can truly rely on, and we know that trust is something we need to earn. If we ever miss the mark, your feedback is essential. Here's how you can appeal if you think we've made a mistake. Don't hesitate to reach out—we're here to make things right!

Heading: EXTRA NOTICE

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT AIMOD DOESN'T LABEL IMAGES BASED OFF TOPIC, INTENT, OR ANY OTHER SURROUNDING INFORMATION REGARDING WHO POSTED IT. WE'RE SIMPLY LOOKING AT IMAGES AND DECIPHERING MACHINE MARKS TO STATE WHETHER IT IS AI GENERATED.

THIS MEANS THAT, PER OUR POLICY, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR AI IMAGE DEPICTS OR WHAT CASE IT SUPPORTS - IT WILL BE TREATED AS AI IMAGERY.

ALSO, REMEMBER THAT POSTS WHICH VIOLATE BLUESKY’S POLICIES, SUCH AS ILLEGAL CONTENT, IMPERSONATION, OR OTHER VIOLATIONS SHOULD BE REPORTED TO BLUESKY, NOT US. WE'RE NOT AFFILIATED AND WE DO NOT HAVE TOOLS OR TRAINING FOR THOSE ISSUES.

Is the generative AI bubble showing signs of cracks ? For me an AI-free social network is a feature, not a bug. I like how Bluesky makes it possible to label AI content (example: @aimod.social ) and hope it gets better and stricter on AI-generated content detection. substack.com/home/post/p-...
