GANksy and This MP Does Not Exist are still there, they used neural networks we trained from scratch (rather than hoovering up the entire internet then typing a prompt) Here’s our AI content policy, we were one of the first (if not THE first) sites to have a public-facing one: vole.wtf/blah/#ai

AI Content Policy

GANksy and This MP Does Not Exist were created with machine learning models trained only on content we supplied (no prompting, no hoovering up the entire internet). We’ve also used automatic transcription for video subtitles.

We occasionally commission work (illustration, music, voice acting) to bring a project to life with a specific person’s unique talent and unexpected ideas; AI will never be used to replace that or our own creativity.
