Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com July 11 news, pixivFANBOX, a large Japanese illustration website, updated its operating rules today, prohibiting users from bypassing the ban on AI generation by joining the outside chain from July 25.

CTOnews.com previously reported that the FANBOX platform announced in May that it would ban uploading and selling illustrations generated by AI art tools such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.

At present, FANBOX generally adopts the subscription system, in which users can get the digital illustrations that the painter updates regularly every month after paying the monthly subscription fee to the painter. After the implementation of the AI ban, FANBOX found that some opportunistic users chose to continue to provide paid subscription services on the platform and joined the chain to provide AI-generated illustrations on other external websites, thus bypassing FANBOX's AI ban.

Based on this situation, FANBOX updated its rules today that painters are not allowed to direct users to external online storage services or other external websites for the purpose of disclosing their works. The announcement makes it clear that the amendment is aimed at the proliferation of generative AI works.

In addition, the announcement also gives FANBOX's definition of AI-generated works: "works generated using AI (including similar technologies) in all or a major part of the production process, or works that only slightly process or modify the content generated by AI."

The notice said that self-created illustrations are automatically painted by AI, copywriters translated by AI are included in the works, and interpretation texts generated by AI are not prohibited. Fanbox called on users to correct or withdraw the content before the new terms take effect on July 25.
