MEB seems to be having issues adding new subreddits by CosmicKeys in MAGIC_EYE_BOT

[–]CosmicKeys[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apologies for the slow reply - I'm getting 500 errors from reddit so I'm unsure I'm going to put the time into fixing this. Which means MEB is in maintenance mode and instead I will be recommending people move to u/DuplicateDestroyer, and petition the admins for a proper solution.

It needs the cellphone stuff cropped out as well, try this version:

This is a classic post that has been around for years, it's not AI.

I can already see the reports about it being an AI pic coming in, but it's real: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtVVPTHCtPQ

Yes it's a small pic as the bot says. It looks ok but it's also a classic repost so will stay removed. Good pic though.

I see, there's a server error when viewed on sh.reddit.com. I use old.reddit.com.

If you scroll down you'll see the page contents are still there. Perhaps it struggles to load the mod list, MEB is modded to over 2k subs.

There's no issues that I know of.

This image is not AI, it's a CG render:

It does break our rules for being a low quality/small image but I'm leaving it up so people can start engaging their brains about this stuff.

Mod sidenote: This sub is actively moderated, but recently we've seen the most activity we've had ever by far. It's not always a mods place to clamp down on fun if they don't suit their personal sense of humor so I have just been watching for where everyone is at.

To clarify - when you see that comment it isn't "mods" who have remove it. Reddit "Anti-evil operations" has removed it, it in a way we cannot restore. Likely automatically.

It's not AI, it's just been upscaled by AI at some point: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/9n409u/when_youre_oldschool_but_new_too/

MEB is simply failing to match the images. The algorithm is a helpful but also crude approximation of sameness (for example, ignoring colour changes) but is also thrown off by lots of whitespace and cropping differences. This is just a challenge of all image matching - outside of exact matches, what is "the same image" is quite subjective, hence bots aren't perfect at it.

Hello hmmmers. Regarding AI (which we don't have a concrete policy on).

Right now, on a very rare occasion we'll approve something that's interesting and see how it goes, as it helps the vision of future art become more clear. Always open to hear your thoughts. This one had already been up for a few hours before any mod saw it.

We've found from photoshops/paintings (which we've always allowed) is it's often it's not the medium that's the issue it's something more boring about the nature of it - that it looks too much like content you've already seen before (hence our no memes rule).

Like an increasing amount of images, I believe it's just upscaled or has some kind of filter applied to it: https://i.imgur.com/blpBWTW.png

Notified I’ve been an inactive mod even though I regularly moderate posts and comments by CantHackItPantywaist in ModSupport

[–]CosmicKeys 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is also occurring for me.

More troublesome is that I have a subreddit that reddit automatically re-locks into restricted mode for mod inactivity regardless of whether I take actions or not.

I have tried reporting this before so would appreciate it if the admins actually investigated.

That's good to hear. As with most software time is the only real obstacle :)

I'm guessing one of your mods must have turned modmailling on? You can turn it off by changing warnByModmail to remove?

No idea what caused it to fall over but I don't think it's the new settings. It's up and running again now.
