Title. I accidentally uploaded an AI art piece yesterday, and I wouldn't have done that if it'd been shown to me in the suggested tags that the poster was banned. It seems to me that we could potentially save a lot of trouble having to flag cases like this if we just made use of the ability to blacklist the known AI artists from ever showing up in the first place.
This has been brought up before, there is the question of what to do if a previously established artist switches to AI, making them a banned artist would remove decades of valid art.
There is also the chance for a redemption arc of someone learning to draw who previously dabbled in AI.
Banned artist is for artists that have sent a DMCA requesting all of their works be removed from the site. They're not "banned" in any traditional sense, nor are they against the rules to upload.
The admins probably don't want to set the precendent of "banning" AI artists in a similar way. We have enough witch hunting as it is.

We do have some banned artists that don't have DMCA takedowns associated with them afaik, like bluedemon13 (guy who wouldnt stop self-uploading).
That being said, what we could do is add (AI_artist) or (AI_prompter) as a qualifier to some of these artist entries for those who are very consistent, like how we have (reposter) as a qualifier for a small handful and (commissioner) for a few others to help people avoid tagging them. Wiki pages help but people often slap the autotranslate feature without thinking.

That was from 15 years ago, though. I don’t think an artist can get banned now for plagiarism, let alone self-uploading. The user account, yes, but not the artist tag.

Yep, and I think it should be a reversed ban potentially just because it doesn't really make sense anymore, but I digress. (We also have some deleted posts with the reason being "artist request" so those maybe should also be banned idk. Oldbooru legacy shit)
Terrible idea because not many people can reliably tell, in fact on the discord there’s only like 4 people who seem to get it right reliably. This would lead to some retard tagging ai-generated wrongly and the artist being permaed.
Various other concepts ideas were thrown around like making another tag like artist warning that would function like banned artist but be more of a warning sign, or adding qualifiers to artists like kisou_(kisou00)_(AI-artist). Both were struck down, with the former being too yank and just adding too much noise, and the latter for the same reasons above, especially established artists starting with AI or AI prompters switching over to being genuine artists.
The best thing we currently have is Danbooru's own Translate Pixiv Tags userscript which adds the ability to quickly check an artist and their latest uploads by just hovering over them. Both AI-generated and AI-assisted posts are marked. Note that its name is wildly misleading, it works on almost all sites that are supported by Danbooru.
I realize that there are plenty of people that don't want to bother with userscripts and endlessly finetuning code and stuff, I consider myself one of them. But this userscript genuinely is a must-have for any intermediate Danbooru uploader in my opinion. It's painless to install and it adds a lot of functionality.
And yes, you are SOL if you are uploading a fresh artist with no previous posts, but it's something until the day we have something more permanent and native.
