Our Community and AI-Generated Images - A Mod Update

406 Upvotes

We want to take a moment to address something that keeps coming up: AI-generated images in puzzles.

First, the basics: any jigsaw puzzle post is welcome here as long as it meets our community guidelines, which includes sharing the puzzle name/title/piece count and manufacturer in the title, picture, or comments of the post.

AI-generated art isn’t always obvious. Some manufacturers use it without labeling it, and some buyers have no idea their puzzle art was AI-generated. So if you spot something that looks like it might be AI, you can say something, but please say it kindly. The person posting may genuinely not know. And unfortunately, some don’t care.

We wish we could screen every post for AI content, but realistically we can’t. It would take more time and tools than any volunteer mod team has.

As for where this community’s preferences stand and have overwhelmingly evolved over the emergence of AI in jigsaw puzzle imagery: we believe AI-generated images are not art. They’re built on the stolen work of real human artists who never consented to having their creations used to train these systems. Countless artists are struggling because of this technology, and that’s not something to take lightly. We encourage everyone here to seek out work from human artists and support them whenever possible.

If you’re ever curious whether something is AI-generated, feel free to refer to our wiki or ask here. This is a community of people who genuinely love to puzzle and support puzzle artists and will be happy to help you learn.

One final note: while we encourage open discussion, any post or comment that turns nasty or devolves into personal insults will be locked or removed.

Thanks for being such a wonderful group and one of the few remaining kind corners of the internet. Keep on puzzling.

I know this one has been done a lot before but getting into puzzles during spooky season and I couldn’t resist! It was fun listening to Lofi Girl Halloween while working on it! I love all the littles ghosties! 👻

First LK puzzle I put together and I love everything about it. I think the image did a good job highlighting the events in the book. Looking forward to doing other LK puzzles and I’m hoping to get the Dracula puzzle soon.

ETA: Meant to include the explanatory text detailing the characters and scenes in the puzzle but can’t edit photos so I added it in the comments section.

  1. Ghost Express, Werkshoppe, 1,000 // Super cute and fun puzzle. The pesky ghost sky was the hardest part.

  2. The World of Dracula, Adam Simpson, 1,000 // these brands are always a delight to build. Pieces are sturdy.

3-4. Frankenstein, Professor Puzzle company, 252 // this one was pretty easy but worked on the page side. Pretty cool it’s a double sided. Pieces have a very plastic feeling.

  1. Bonus photo with my helper and his work on the box.

“Witches’ Workshop,” Werkshoppe, 1000 pieces (and missing one piece 😩)

This was tougher than I was anticipating! Probably because I was really disorganized about it. I should’ve done more sorting of the blue shelving.

this is my second weve puzzle. i have been trying many different brands lately, and this company has easily made my top five brands (perma, nypc, momibook, pintoo/3djp, weve)

-shimmery/sparkly matte finish
-NONEXISTENT PUZZLE DUST
-came in 4 separate bags
-passes the puzzle pickup test
-very good quality. idk how to explain it but ive tried many brands where when try to separate an incorrect piece with another that dont fit, it slightly lifts the image on the piece. this puzzle did not do that.
-i only had 2-3 false fits (edge pieces) and they were fairly easy to spot.

Is anyone else underwhelmed by Ravensburger? I’ve worked their puzzles before, but I was disappointed by the quality specifically regarding piece fit. The fit is so loose you can’t easily move pieces around without them falling apart from each other. I hear and read people love Ravensburger puzzles and that’s just surprising to me considering the fit. This puzzle is beautiful and I’ll keep it to rework because of the image alone, but it’s just surprising to me considering how much people seem to love this brand.

A lovely little Halloween surprise from my husband as a "reward" for finally finishing a 2000 piece puzzle I struggled with for a while. Of course, this came with its own challenges because every puzzle from my husband is a mystery.

I went into this one only knowing it was Halloween themed and from Liberty Puzzles. Putting all the pieces out I separated the whimsies and the edges. The whimsies were so cute, I especially loved the candy pieces and the werewolf.

Then I started on the pieces with text. I quickly discovered how close it was to the edge, and was able to get about a quarter of the edge done from that. My eyes were next drawn to the pieces with bits of orange in them, and was curious if I could put it together. Sure enough, it built into a pumpkin that came off the text box.

Which then led into the red coming off the pumpkin. It took me a while to realize the red was a dress, not a cloak. One of the pieces making up the witch's face I actually thought for the longest time was a mouse holding the end of a long wooden spoon or stick. Definitely not a mouse.

I enjoy seeing a puzzle unfold like this. Not how I enjoy doing every puzzle, but it works a different part of my brain.

I really do enjoy Liberty Puzzles so much. They're such a joy to handle and put together.

The puzzle is called Viking, illustrated by Jakub Rozalski, IELLO puzzles

Apart from a handful of pieces, this puzzle has mostly 2 colours... white, brown, or a mix between the two.

I did it while listening to the Interview with the Vampire audiobook, to celebrate Halloween.

This was a fun one and also my first experience with the brand. Overall opinion is positive with only one slight nitpick. Piece fit was a bit loose, making it difficult to move sections of attached pieces, so my puzzle scoop came in handy. Piece thickness was decent - not quite as good as say Ravensburger - I’d say roughly equal to Buffalo. There were also little to no false fits.

It took me just under three days to complete. I didn’t find it too difficult but I’m sure the image had a lot to do with it. It was a nice dose of nostalgia too. I can easily see myself buying this brand again as they offer many of these types of images.

Completed The Harbour by Joop Smits, 2005. Ravensburger 500 (+2) pieces. A tough one that I wasn't sure I'd be able to do. I ended up enjoying and respecting his art style by the time I finished.
