pixivFANBOX updates operating rules to prohibit using external links to circumvent the AI ​​generation ban

IT House reported on July 11 that pixivFANBOX, a large Japanese illustration website, updated its operating rules today. Starting from July 25, users are prohibited from circumventing the AI ​​generation ban by joining external links .

IT House previously reported that the FANBOX platform announced in May that would prohibit the uploading and sale of illustrations generated using AI art tools such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.

FANBOX currently adopts a subscription system. After users pay a monthly subscription fee to the artist, they can obtain digital illustrations that are regularly updated by the artist every month. After the AI ​​ban was implemented, FANBOX discovered that some opportunistic users chose to continue to provide paid subscription services on the platform and joined external links to provide AI-generated illustrations on other external websites, thus circumventing FANBOX's AI ban.

Based on this situation, FANBOX updated today and stipulates that painters shall not direct users to external online storage services or other external websites for the purpose of disclosing their works. This announcement clearly targets the overabundance of generative AI work.

In addition, the announcement also gave 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 only slightly modifying the AI-generated content. Works that have been processed or modified.”

The announcement states that self-created illustrations that are automatically colored by AI, works that include AI-translated copy, and AI-generated explanatory text for works are not prohibited. Before the new terms take effect on July 25, Fanbox urges users to modify or delete content related to it.
