A minor kerfuffle in the Balatro subreddit has led developer LocalThunk to weigh in on the topic of AI-generated art, and his position is clear: It hurts artists, and it's not welcome.
As documented by RPS, the whole thing began when a now-former subreddit moderator named DrTankHead jumped into a thread questioning the presence of AI art in the subreddit. "We will not be banning AI art here, if it is properly claimed and tagged as such," DrTankHead wrote. "This has been done after discussion with the staff at PlayStack."
