Yes we—at the Internet’s top collaborative celebrity feet website—non-consensually fetishize, rate, and categorize the feet of famous women. But we have morals. We believe authenticity and the beautiful spark of the human sole matters—especially in a picture of a woman’s feet.

This is why we firmly reject the inclusion of AI actress Tilly Norwood in any of our foot galleries: Recent Pics, Feet of the Day, or the Special Interest Hand Section (check it out!). The administrators of wikiFeet, a group of men who refer to ourselves as the “Dukes of wikiFeet,” pledge to stomp out any generative little piggies whenever they appear. Additionally, we’ve enlisted the help of our “Guild”: another group of men who not only feel comfortable giving out an email to make an account on this website but also review women’s feet like they’re looking at vacuum cleaners on assignment from Good Housekeeping.

Initially, this policy originated from worry about the hallucinations that generative AI is prone to. Sometimes Tilly Norwood’s feet have six toes, sometimes four. Site rules require a consistent number of toes.

Beyond that, this policy is the result of a lifetime of unhealthy reflections on the nature of feet.

When you’re gazing at feet all day at work when you should be working—as we do—you learn something. You learn to value what women’s feet have to say. Rather than being prompted, real feet are earned and a product of a rich life’s circumstances—whether they be flat, weathered feet from walking the path of adversity or the delicate, vaulted arches of privilege. A hammer toe, a bunion, or a high instep. These tell stories and evoke feelings. Generative feet have no danger or vulnerability, like open-toed shoes at a construction site. None of the wild abandon. Put simply, they can’t replace real feet because they aren’t real feet.

Furthermore, we see AI for what it truly is: a play by Capital to cut Labor off at the knees. And no one knows more than us that below the knees of Labor, past its calves and ankles, lies our first love: its feet.

There are those who suggest that we get with the times or be caught on the back foot by the technological frontier. However, not only do we pledge to continue to be the stewards of the future of feet pics, we also call on our site submitters to upload only ethical non-consensual human foot content. Navigating what lies ahead with AI will require many things from all of us: we will need your hearts, your voices, and most of all your feet—well lit and in focus, please.
