In response to the increased prevalence of generative artificial intelligence, some editors of the English Wikipedia have introduced measures to reduce its use within the encyclopedia. Using images generated from text-to-image models on articles is often discouraged, unless the context specifically relates to artificial intelligence. A hardline Luddaite approach has not been adopted by all Wikipedians and AI-generated images are used in some articles in non-AI contexts.
=Paintings in medical articles=
The image guidelines generally restrict the use of images that are solely for decorative purposes, as they do not contribute meaningful information or aid the reader in understanding the topic. Despite this restriction, it appears that paintings are permitted to be included in medical articles to display human-made artistic interpretations of medical themes. They offer historical and cultural perspectives related to medical topics.

=WikiProject AI Cleanup=
:See also: Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup/AI images in non-AI contexts
WikiProject AI Cleanup searches for AI-generated images and evaluates their suitability for an article. If any images are deemed inappropriate, they may be removed to ensure that only relevant and suitable images are kept in articles.
File:Spicy_Fifty_cocktail_representation.jpg|Removed from Spicy Fifty, due to a "distracting error" (probably the weird pepper that floats and seems to clip the glass).
File:Theft nail polish shoplifting AI 3.jpg|Removed from Shrinkage (accounting) as a real-life alternative could be used instead.
File:Athletic anime furry girl.jpg|Removed from Kemonā for being unnecessarily explicit.
File:Start_of_Darul_Uloom_Deoband_under_a_pomegranate_tree_(by_AI).png|Removed from Darul Uloom Deoband for bad anatomy and risk of being mistaken for a contemporary work (the college was founded in 1866).
File:Wolf sees cheese in moon reflection.jpg|Removed from The Moon is made of green cheese because a historical illustration was already used in the article.
Perhaps the removed "scientific" images are the worst ones, however, even if they only affected one article, Chemotactic drug-targeting:
File:AI_generated_image_of_an_amoeba_moving.jpg|This is supposedly an amoeba moving; it looks more like a sperm cell, if anything. Amoeboid movement and a flagellum are fundamentally different movement techniques, and this looks much more like the latter. Prompt apparently was "an ameba moving toward a food source through the process of chemotaxis". Chemotaxis is movement in response to chemicals in the surrounding environment and needs a lot more creativity to illustrate.
File:AI_generated_image_of_a_cancer_cell.jpg|This image inaccurately shows a red tumour on a cell. Cancer cells don't get cancerous tumours on them, they form tumours in aggregate. This is probably based on a cross between a tumour and images of T lymphocytes attacking cancerous cells, but the combination created nonsense. The prompt was apparently a "cancer cell and its abnormal growth", but that's not meant to be growths on the cell itself.
File:AI_generated_image_of_leukocytes.jpg|Supposedly leukocytes, but leukocytes aren't crystal orbs with vaguely red-blood cell shapes around and inside them. This one is more subtly wrong (it knows there should be something inside, and there's usually some red blood cells mixed in with them in photos...), which arguably makes it more insidious. This just isn't as blatantly bad, making it easier to mistake it as a real image.
It may also be worth considering what kind of AI art is being left in articles by the WikiProject:
File:Willy's Chocolate Experience advertisement.png|Advertisement for "Willy's Chocolate Experience", a disastrous event in Glasgow, Scotland that used AI for all its promotional material. Without cropping out the fake words. A {{not a typo|pasadise}} of sweet teats, indeed!
File:Green sustainable city with lots of public transport and green spaces.jpg|Succeeds in illustrating pastoral science fiction in a way that captures important ideas of sustainable structures.
File:Artificial intelligence DALL-E generated images from the prompt Listenbourg.png|These somewhat deformed buildings are apparently typical of ways the meme/hoax country of Listenbourg was depicted using... well, AI images.

Policies vary between different language versions of Wikipedia. Differences in opinion among Wikipedians have resulted in the inclusion of text-to-image model-generated images on several Wikipedias, including the English Wikipedia. Many Wikipedias use Wikidata to automatically display images, which takes place beyond the scope of local projects.
