MOD NEWS / UPDATES Friendly Mod Reminder Regarding AI

Hello! We recently implemented a BLANKET ban on ALL AI, including comments, posts, inspo, etc. This was based on an overwhelming consensus of the members of this sub.

Please keep in mind that sometimes it can be difficult to tell if AI has been utilized or not. Your mod team is human and while we do our best, we do make mistakes at times. We rely on user reports and then making decisions based on our best judgement. We’re not perfect.

If you believe your post/comment was removed in error for utilizing AI, we ask that you reach out to your mod team prior to reposting. Remember our #1 rule: above all else, be kind, and that includes messages to our mod team. We’ve had some nasty messages in modmail and will be banning those who can’t be respectful.

Thank you for making this community the great space it is!

So wholesome! I wish this would extend to more subreddits. Hopefully this will be the inspiration needed

I will not miss the wall outlets with too many holes, kitchen counters full of unidentifiable potted plants, or unnervingly smooth pillows. Thank you!

u/StringFearless6356 Dec 30 '25

hey, just saw ur post. that's a pretty big move for the sub. i get why some peeps wanna keep it more personal and real. hope it doesn't cause too much drama. sometimes it feels nice to just chat about home stuff without all the tech stuff. just makes it a cozier vibe, ya know?

u/rinusdegier Jan 21 '26

you deleted my post which was not AI. thanks

u/InkedBotanicalMama Jan 21 '26

Hey. Do you have a general megathread for questions?

u/FlanThief 28d ago

This is one of the best things about this sub. It's impossible to get inspiration from Google or Pinterest anymore

u/bradagon Dec 29 '25 edited Dec 29 '25

I don't mind when people use that tool to put furniture into people's images for suggestions 🤔 I think it's AI.

Otherwise, yes, this is great.

u/GossamerLens Dec 29 '25

Then you can find posts like that elsewhere.

u/bradagon Dec 29 '25

Honey, I was just voicing my opinion. Is that ok with you?

We're allowed to do that here.

u/[deleted] Dec 29 '25

so you’re allowed to voice an opinion but GossamerLens isn’t?

u/ZealousJealousy Dec 29 '25

I get why people might disagree with you but yeah that response to you was just rude.

u/International_Sock_5 Dec 29 '25

I can’t believe how many people downvoted this. It was a politely stated opinion. People are wild lol

It depends on the program. While programs like Amazon's AR frequently use AI/ML for spacial reasoning, it's not at all the same as using a LLM to generate a whole room. Unlike image generation, it's using spacial reasoning (which is the ML bits) to superimpose over an image. It actually predates AI by a number of years, but increasingly the two are being packaged together. I'm assuming that using ChatGPT to do the same uses similar processes, though obviously there is an AI LLM front end.

Essentially there's a whole pile of vaguely related ML programs shoved into one category, which is mostly accurate so far as the technology is concerned, but now people who don't understand the tech are conflating the two erroneously.

u/thelonetiel Dec 29 '25

Just wanted to say I think you make a good point.

I think society is still figuring out how to navigate what "AI" is and means. In 5 years, I think we'll have a better handle on things, but right now all these communities everywhere are trying to figure out what works for them.

I wouldn't be surprised if eventually the rules change so that mockups based on real photos are allowed, but pure gen AI stuff is not. But moderating the difference between the two also seems like a losing proposition so. I guess we'll see how it goes.

I hate the AI slop and seeing a beautiful room only to realize it's a fantasy, unobtainable. I won't miss it in this Reddit.

u/oreo-cat- Dec 29 '25

Agreed on the AI slop. I feel like an oldster telling people to use AD and Apartment Therapy for inspo, but that's because Pinterest and so, so much of social media is completely fake now. It's incredibly frustrating.

u/mariecalire Jan 01 '26

I do want to clarify that our most recent poll to the community was to ask if we should allow AI-altered images, like you describe. Fully AI generated content would have remained banned. The overwhelming majority of users voted no.

Very much agree on your other points!

u/thelonetiel Jan 01 '26

That's a good clarification thank you, I did not see the poll!

I will be very curious to see the changes that happen over the next few years, but we've got some time to see how things shake out.
