This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.
Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.
The post right below this is when they get a fourth for their group.
There isn’t anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn’t what the community is about.
If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it’d be fine for that post’s commenters to discuss pizza in general.
I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don’t otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.
I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.
No need to be sorry. I’d step down as mod if dealing with stuff like this was too much work for me.

My cat rejects me taking my hand back.
Invincible handles consequences pretty well.
One example: At one point Atom Eve uses her powers to turn an empty lot into a playground. But it turns out
the lot was empty because the ground was unstable. So the playground collapses and injures several people.
For anybody thinking this new game will be anything like XCOM prepare for disappointment.
Jake has previously said that he is leaving turn-based tactics games behind.
And his tweet announcing Midsummer even says “it’s going to seem very different from what I’ve done before.”
edit: There is some good news for turn-based tactics fans. Another studio founded by former XCOM devs is focusing on turn-based games.

Remember, kids, that pet’s names are often used for passwords. Don’t share sensitive information.
That said, I have no reason to believe that OP is trying to crack accounts. They seem to be a normal Lemmy user.
I don’t know that the Japanese game industry has had layoffs like the west has.
I’m reminded of the time Satoru Iwata cut his own salary to avoid layoffs at Nintendo.
Honestly, I thought the “Fuck the state” was the original until I searched for the artist to credit them.
This is why I hide my paper towels in a cabinet.
For the reporters and AI accusers:
I have reached out to OP and confirmed that they are not a bot. They have posted an explanation here: https://lemmy.world/post/31487746
They were simply trying to give helpful cat tips and were using an unusual writing style which unfortunately came off as LLM generated.
