I see the utility of this as removing AI image results from google images. Many artists need to search for real life photo reference in order to improve their drawing or painting skill. If you've never heard "photo reference" before, you may assume this is like tracing, but that is not the case. What you do is "study" a reference then paint on your canvas separately. This is to improve your ability to render particular subjects and materials.

Although AI generated art is fairly adept at rendering materials at the small scale, they often have issues of large scale consistency (e.g. clothing wrinkles turning into seams in an unrealistic way) or being inaccurate (e.g. a certain type of wild cat having ear tufts when it shouldn't). These are real examples that I have seen.

Needing to sift through AI art in order to find true photographs for reference is frustrating. A blocklist helps with that.

What did people do before Google Image search and the Internet existed? Let's block everything because a few entitled hobbyists no longer have a world revolving around them.

I assume you'd go to the library and find photo catalogues, but this is inconvenient and before my time. Nobody is suggesting everyone use this blocklist, but it's here for the hobbyists who want to use it.
