Use cases of AI image generators[edit]

Can AI image generators like Stable Diffusion be used to generate original images for presenting rendition for subjects that can't simply be captured? 2001:448A:3043:762C:746D:DED5:4321:8398 (talk) 01:35, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In some limited cases, I think yes. I believe it would be appropriate for human-curated illustration type portraits similar to the Drawtober project on French Wikipedia, and perhaps other illustrations as well (for example, architectural recreations). It would probably not be appropriate for photo-realistic images of people, as this could mislead readers. Pharos (talk) 23:50, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a domain where AI-generated images might be particularly useful on Wikipedia articles: c:Category:Mythological illustrations by Midjourney.--Pharos (talk) 18:50, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly when the quality improves. This is an evolving topic. I reverted this insertion of an AI-generated "photo" to illustrate Apache HTTP server. —DIYeditor (talk) 15:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would say sometimes. It depends on the image and should be decided on a case-by-case basis. I would oppose a general ban, but I'd definitely say that we should never use them for photorealistic images of specific named people, which could introduce confusion (and BLP issues for living ones.) OTOH for images intended to illustrate articles about AI I would say they're uncontroversial enough to be allowed currently, and for images of other topics using them ought to be possible. --Aquillion (talk) 17:09, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
