Then why do they pretend to ban a specific art type?

I could have generated variations of a human created digital piece in less time than these AI (currently) since the creation of this platform but they didn't seem to feel threatened by this up until now... so there is clearly an other problem.

Seems dubious that you could achieve over 2000 upload each day, without stopping.

I generated over 30k, maybe 40k images since stable diffusion 1.4 model went public 2 weeks ago. Most of it is just endless exploring and generating a lot of nonsense but I got some prompts that generate consistently good results. 2000 decent quality images per day would be quite easy, even with my humble rtx 2070s GPU.

I was responding to claim that bot uploads of autogenerated work is not a problem, as humans can generate work at the same rate.

The point I was making is that prior to AI generated pieces, a human could create one piece and then apply random filters to it and also upload thousands of small variations every day. People didn't do it because it is not very interesting. The broader point is that these AI pieces can be interesting, and such a ban is not just because of bandwidth/storage limitations.
