This decision should be reconsidered and I would downvote if my instance allowed. Almost every comment is against it here.
I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don't otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.
I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.
I'll argue that this is a cat community, not an AI discussion community.
There isn't anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn't what the community is about.
If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it'd be fine for that post's commenters to discuss pizza in general.
