Aywas, AI and Art Theft

Rules

It has come to staff attention that there are concerns about Aywas art and AI models. Please note that in regards to custom pets, Aywas has had a long-standing rule that customs must be made by hand. This rule is also the reason we do not allow stock photographs or Google images to be used in a custom design. Per the rules in the Knowledge Base:

"Photographs, images or patterns, internet-sourced or from physical media, CANNOT BE USED on an Aywas image under any circumstances, as you are rarely finding the true source of the image. As a precaution this includes photographs taken by yourself, or a friend."

In regards to AI art and GenAI training models, Under no circumstance will we tolerate AI art onsite nor does the site consent to ANY of its art and assets being used to train models. In this circumstance, Aywas assets includes (but is not limited to) the artwork onsite and site colorations, but also includes the customs hosted onsite and anything using our site species' lineart. Using AI and/or putting Aywas assets into a learning model is and will be treated as art theft, which we have always taken seriously.

Users found using AI artwork onsite AND/OR putting any Aywas asset into a genAI learning model will be permanently banned from the site. This rule will be enforced even against offsite uses of AI imagery that uses Aywas assets if it is reported to staff as we will vigorously protect our works from art theft.
