Hello, I was curious if posting edits of gifs being AI upscaled would have any problem with rules in this website.
Read the uploading guidelines.
I do see that it is not good to post any AI generated content/assisted artwork, but does that count for AI upscale edit of original artwork?
Bad Things to Upload:
[...]
- Low quality submissions: Highly visible compression artifacts, scribbles, low-quality photographs of traditional media (invest in a scanner, people!), "1000h in MSPaint" images, computer generated mosaics, cropped images, anatomical diagrams, bad edits, screenshots, artificial upscales, AI/neural network edits, etc.
- Artificial upscales include anything like "normal" upscaling, waifu2x, neural network upscales, and similar.
- Sensible integer upscaling with nearest neighbor (a.k.a. without smoothing filters) is permitted for pixel artwork that would otherwise be too small to see well.

No, AI/artificial upscales are forbidden in general - no matter the quality.
From the Edits section of the uploading guidelines, highlighting the relevant part with bold.
- Edits of images need to be at least on the same level of quality as the original.
- Low effort edits (adding stories, changing text, bucket fill coloring, cutting out parts, etc.) are not allowed.
- Translating speech bubbles from any language into English is permitted, however.
- We only accept an English translation and the original language; we will not host additional translations.
- Coloring "bases" (template images) are not permitted if they haven't been performed by the original artist of the base.
- We will only accept up to five (5) versions of any given base.
- Neural network and AI edits are not permitted, regardless of type of edit (uncensoring, coloring, denoise, etc.).
- Rotoscoping and photomorphs are only permitted if they completely transform the entire reference so that no part of the original remains visible
Pro tip: if you are told not to upload artificially upscaled videos, don't immediately go and upload an artificially upscaled video.
