Inkbunny's rules are more or less unenforceable because nobody will have time to check the validity of the presets claimed to have been used. Further, there's a very gray area when it comes to plugins for software like Photoshop or Gimp. When does it become automatic enough to qualify as 'AI Assisted'? There's that site that can add lighting effects for instance. It does an amazingly good job, but the artist still needs to place the light sources and give them any tinting desired. Is that a plugin, artist tool or 'AI Assisted'? There are terrain and background generators that don't just use presets but take input directly from the artist. I guarantee there are a lot of images using those where there's basically no way to go back and tell everyone how to generate the 'same' background. All I can say is good luck to the staff for however long they are willing to bother with this.
