I find it so egregious that Pinterest uses imagery on its site to train GenAi models. Imagery they do not own, and for the most part, is uploaded by third party users without the consent of creators.

GenAi industries depend on exploitation to function and it’s gross

I NEED GOOD, THOUGHTFUL LEADERS TO GET WAY BETTER AT USING THE INTERNET LIKE FIVE YEARS AGO

Aside from glazing adding disruptive watermarks, grid overlays, and just signing your art at all goes a long way to throw off ai. Even if you feel like it’s too much work or not worth it, think of how the environment is being destroyed to mimic what real artists can do. It’s worth it!

Attention #furry community!! With the continued rise of AI use it is important to keep our community aware and free of as much of it as possible. To ALL artists glaze and protect your work!

Let’s do what we can in the face of this blight!
