Separate Image Category for AI-Generated Fanart

📋 Summary

Introduce a separate image category for AI-generated fanart, allowing users to distinguish it from traditionally created fanart and optionally exclude it from their collections.

❗ Problem

Some users prefer not to include AI-generated images in their libraries. Currently:

• AI-generated fanart is uploaded under existing fanart categories

• There is no clear distinction between AI-created and traditionally created artwork

• Users cannot easily filter out AI-generated content

This makes it difficult for users with specific preferences to manage their media cleanly.

💡 Proposal

Create a parallel set of image categories specifically for AI-generated content, such as:

• Fanart (AI)

• And other applicable fanart categories

These would:

• Be clearly labeled as AI-generated

• Be filterable or optionally excluded from downloads and display

• Apply only to user-generated AI artwork

If an official release uses AI artwork, it would remain in the standard image category.

📦 Benefits

• Gives users control over whether AI-generated art appears in their collection

• Maintains transparency in media sourcing

• Prevents mixing AI and non-AI artwork in the same category

• Supports both users who want AI artwork and those who prefer to avoid it

💡 Notes

• Should integrate with existing image filtering and download settings

• Labeling standards may need to be defined for uploads

• Default behavior could continue treating all images equally unless filtered
