There isn't any distinction. It's meant to be an objective contents label, similar to the default nudity filter. Using a hashtag such as #AI helps us out a lot by reducing how much manual labor we need to do.

Sorry for the trouble but thank you for taking the steps! For clarification it does look like the label was an old one, from before we re-launched the service, and not specifically intended for your most recent profile picture. Still, the cat is certainly very cute.

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."

We actually completely transitioned to a new server, so while it may look basically the same on the user end it's actually a fair bit different than before. This specific change may just be an oversight. We'll take a look and discuss. Unfortunately, with Bluesky it has to be one or the other.

It's probably an old label. The service was down for ten months. We'll get that taken care of for you.

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.We are still actively updating our mute lists, a process we were in the middle of doing when we shut down ten months ago and can only be done when the service is running. Apologies again if anyone suddenly gets added to a list for a profile picture they had almost a year ago. Just send us an appeal and we will correct it ASAP. 

If you are uncertain of how to file an appeal, there is a full overview in the documentation linked in our bio.

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:...

Send a report in using the standard report system, and write in the notes that is an appeal and why you are appealing it. We'll get the message 😊

We have block/mute lists too if you want to cut out the middle man.

We are currently experiencing some technical difficulties, please bear with us until those can be resolved. At the moment we are unable to accept reports or add new labels. We will do our best to fix this issue as soon as possible.

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. 😊
We are currently changing the way our mute lists function so users have more control over what content they choose to see. Instead of having one all-inclusive list, we are in the process of breaking it down into discrete categories corresponding with our labels. This means someone with an AI profile picture won't be lumped into the same mute list as someone who is posting AI images every day.

As we continue the migration process, some accounts that are currently labeled by our labeler might receive a notification as if they had just been added to a new list.

If you receive such a notification and believe it is in error, please submit an appeal (or otherwise let us know) so we can resolve the issue.

We are currently changing the way our mute lists function, so you were inadvertantly notified during our migration process. The label was added to your account earlier this month. It doesn't appear to be AI now, so we went ahead and removed it for you, which will also remove you from the list.

We are currently changing the way our mute lists function, so you were inadvertantly notified during our migration process. The label was added to your account in March. Because you've changed it since then, we went ahead and removed it for you, which will also remove you from the list.

We are currently changing the way our mute lists function, so you were inadvertantly notified during our migration process. The label was added to your account in January of this year. Since you've changed it since, we went ahead and removed it for you, which will also remove you from the list.

The mute lists are actively tied to the labels. If you don't have the label you aren't on the mute list. We are actually in the process of breaking down our large, inclusive mute list into smaller discrete mute lists, which is probably why you saw it show up.

AI Imagery Labeler @aimod.social · 27/07/2025
It looks like the AI-Avatar label was applied in February. We would have to do more research as to why you were again notified today, but in any case we've gone ahead and removed it for you.

Also: feel free to appeal any previously labeled posts for which you feel this label might be applicable.

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.

Seems the label referred to an image you used last year and no one ever reported to us that it had changed. We've gone ahead and removed the label for you.

AI Imagery Labeler @aimod.social · 15/06/2025
The issue should be resolved. We looked into it last night, it seemed to be related to an icon you were using before. We also double checked the mute list to make sure you were cleared from that as well. Thanks for reaching out to us about it!

Good question! In short, you subscribe to the labeler and then when you see an AI image or user you report it using the standard report function, but select the AI imagery labeler when given the option of where to report it. You can find a detailed walkthrough here: tinyurl.com/AIILFAQ

AI Imagery Labeler @aimod.social · 27/04/2025
Our team does not keep a record of images. From our end we can see that an image was reported, was labeled after the report, and that the image has since been changed. Again, if you ever believe a label has been applied in error please let us know as soon as possible so we can get it fixed.

AI Imagery Labeler @aimod.social · 27/04/2025
It looks like the label on your account was from an image you'd used before but no longer, so we went ahead and removed it. Going forward, if you, or anyone else, ever have an issue with a label feel free to appeal either the image or the account by sending us a note using the report function.
