Gaia Online community pushes back against AI avatar art

Original: Gaia Online rejects AI avatar art

Users of the long-running avatar community Gaia Online are rejecting AI-generated avatar art, with discussion spreading across social platforms. Longtime members argue the site's appeal rests on human-made pixel art and customisation, and are calling on the platform to keep AI images out of profiles and avatar spaces. Supporters of the ban say it protects artists; others debate where the line should sit.

Why now: Avatar communities are confronting a wave of AI-generated images that threatens the value of original artist-made items.
