For preserving the least toxic and most culturally relevant Tumblr heritage posts.

Image descriptions and plain text captions of written content are expected of all screenshots. Here are some image text extractors (I looked these up quick and will gladly take FOSS recommendations):

-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

you can't arbitrarily apply one set of rules to image generation by computer and another to one done by hand when their outputs are fundamentally the same.

Why not? The arbitrating factor is the people involved in making the image. The inputs.

What is your definition of 'people involved in making the image'. People are involved whether or not you use AI. It's the same argument traditional artists threw when digital art first started to come onto the scene. "your art is worthless and takes away from my real art because it was made with a computer". There is a huge difference between someone posting raw gens and those that spend hours on pre and post processing to get a style consistent with the image in their head. That's exactly what digital artists do. Your tools should get you 80% of the way to your intended product, the rest comes from you. Is that inherently without value just because a computer had a part in the process? Then you'd have to apply the same rules to all digital art made within the last 20 years. Adobe has been utilizing, admittedly worse versions, of AI in things like Photoshop for years. People just didn't realize it until they got good enough to stand out.
