We do not currently have a banner for our community and are in need of one that we can all agree on. Does anyone have something they would like to suggest?
Edit: Submissions are welcome as well!
Cute puppy. When in doubt, cute puppy is always the answer.
A puppy and kitty snuggled up together might be great - that's a whole bundle of cuteness.
Something like this?

That is freaking adorable, AI or not.
If you have some ideas for the banner, I can try making them with AI tomorrow.
That would be awesome!
Wow that is impressive! I feel like I've been living under a rug !
Never too late to start! The AI is called Stable Diffusion (this UI is the best). Model is Realistic Vision V3. You'll find plenty of guides on r/StableDiffusion, sadly nothing I know of here on Lemmy. You can check some people's creations on [email protected].
Wow thanks, I'm going to bur half my weekend messing around with this :D
I'm on my way out of this sub right now due to AI posts, so feel free to disregard my salty butt, but I feel the need to say that I'm really not okay with AI generated content in this community, especially it being allowed to go up un-tagged and un-filterable (if there's a way to filter out posts on this site I wouldn't be totally against it as long as there's a rule to tag images appropriately).
I find the idea of putting an AI generated image up as the community's banner is asking for exactly the wrong kind of content. Look - real life can't compete with this stuff. Any random dude with a graphics card can Stable Diffusion the cutest and most exotic pic you've ever seen, (an approximation of) the kind of thing a photographer might capture after years of seeking out that perfect one in a million shot. The guy who made this can casually pump out several dozen like it's nothing. You want a baby red panda and a squirrel instead? They'll have it generated and posted in the time it took me to write this rant.
There's a specific community on this site for AI generated aww, and I recommend people who like these go make it active. I don't think I'm alone in saying people don't expect that content here. Most don't know what to look for and aren't zooming in to spot it, and while this form of misinformation (presenting pictures that are not real as if they were, as another AI generated post here has done by being posted without context or tagging as AI generated) is far from innately harmful, I don't think it should be allowed in this sub's rules. If that other post's comments are anything to go by, people feel cheated realizing it wasn't real.
Again, I don't entirely mind if the sub isn't strictly limited to real pictures only. Aww comes in many forms, from real life to movies to games to art. IMO, AI is far too much of an 'easy button' to get a free pass, though.
Currently our community rules do not specify for or against AI posts however you make very valid points and there have made a post to ask other users in the community their opinion.
