ok, i say new-ish because i haven't been around my gallery for ages, even if i peek on rendo every day, like for deals or to see my inbox. but this change might have happened months ago, maybe more. and i have no idea if/where this has been discussed/explained, but i'm not gonna search/read in the forum for hours. so i ask here and now.

thing is, as i had a look at my gallery right now for nostalgic reasons, i saw this little icon in a corner, and the icon says "no AI". per se, a good idea. only problem is, i uploaded those images like what, 2 years ago? first i uploaded a few daz renders, then i had an AI phase and uploaded a big bunch of AI pics, kind of my best (best back then, it was the beginning...). anyway the AI part is much bigger than the daz one. AND I PUT THEM IN THE RIGHT GALLERY TOO. the AI one.

wondering where the little icon came from, i opened the edit view of one of my pics, and there it is: NOW there's one more batch of checkboxes at the bottom saying made with AI, whole, partial, not at all. and punishment if "fraud" is committed.
maybe this new regulation concerns only the images that have been uploaded AFTER the rule was introduced, which is fine. otherwise it's a bit taxing for those like me who had a big pile of AI, and are supposed to change all the info retroactively. unless there's a batch way to do it.

because i don't mind being honest about that, yes, a big bunch of my uploaded images were made with AI, yes yes yes. and i also find that the little icon in the corner of my images is lying right now. EVEN IF IT'S OBVIOUS THAT IT'S AI BECAUSE I PUT THEM IN THE AI GALLERY AS I UPLOADED THEM...

but how am i supposed to change the info - check the right box - on a few hundred images? you don't honestly expect me to open every single one of those  +500 images and go check that box, right? they've been there for years, and i also just discovered the whole issue right now by pure chance.

IS THERE A WAY TO SELECT A WHOLE BUNCH - LIKE USING THE FILTER CHECKBOX OF THE SECTIONS - AND CHANGE EVERYTHING AT ONCE?

if not, i either just leave it as it is - or i delete my gallery if someone jumps up and down.

remember the famous HW products that were supposed to be transferred to our rendo accounts? like, promised? a five years pending issue? and in the end mostly didn't because the involved work was way too much for the rendo team (well, the single person dispatched for that)? so, i hope rendo doesn't ask us to do the kind of sysyphus work they didn't do themselves...

IN THE END, MERITOCRACY HAS NOT ONLY PERMEATED OUR DAILY LIVES AND WORK, BUT ALSO OUR HEARTS, OUR MINDS AND OUR PERCEPTION OF ART...
