Happy 6/21 everyone! Keeping up the tradition of a yearly Esix for the big day.
This is kind borderline for furry_irl, but I think with people memeing about 6/21 a bunch and with how small of a window it is, I'd prefer it here over furry. What are your tag(s)? >:3
IMO: they need to add an Ai tagging feature to E621. Ai is basically purpose built for image tagging. Then users could upvote/downvote accurate tags the Ai suggested. If the tag is highly upvoted, then it could be added to the image. Welcome to my Ted talk.
Thanks for listening to my rant
I don't have experience with models, but if there is a compatible free software model (E6ing is FOSS, though not GPL) which suggests tags with a reasonable degree of accuracy, sure. Given the way images are uploaded, if such a model suggested existing tags for all new submissions the uploader could validate, that'd likely be a great jumping off point instead of only a handful of tags and a +tagme. Maybe these suggestions could also exist within the tag editing page for others to validate in the future as well.
I love the idea of suggested tags. I'm not super familiar with Ai models, but it seems like using their current data to train something wouldn't be too hard. They already have a bunch of images with accurate tags.
