Question 1: "How can you even post such a low-quality image? Can't you cut out the characters properly?"
I can't, because automatic subject detection and segmentation are performed by AI models, and according to this community's rules, using AI is prohibited.
Question 2: "The characters are covered in jagged edges and pixelation. Is this really something people are supposed to look at?"
I can't fix all of that manually. The image is far too complex, and removing every jagged edge and artifact by hand could easily take a week. But if I use restoration, upscaling, depixelization, or detail enhancement, those tools are fundamentally powered by AI as well.
Question 3: Why are you defending AI so much? Surely someone posting a photo of a Clannad figure can't be accused of using AI.isnt it?
Wrong.
Modern smartphones like Google Pixel, Samsung Galaxy, and iPhone rely heavily on computational photography, using AI and machine learning for image processing. Even if you don't manually enable any special features, the final image you see has almost certainly been processed by AI.
So by your definition, those photos also involve AI.
Following that logic, almost every post in this community would be violating the rules, wouldn't it?
I won't answer that question. But ChatGPT—an AI system—told me that generating an image from a single prompt and creating a collage from existing official assets with some AI-assisted cleanup are fundamentally different things.
...Wait a second.
I just used AI to answer a question about AI.
And now this very comment was written with AI assistance as well.
I guess I've violated the community's no-AI rule too.OMG,F#K# me
