You can ban any user ID and it will return a name once your client has cached that user ID. Try doing the same to any other user ID and you'll see exactly the same behavior.

It is an -application integrated into the discord client-. It is not some invisible Boogeyman bot in your servers.
Banning it by User ID will display the name if it's cached in your client for any reason. Including it having been 'banned' by other servers that didn't have it in.

For users that do have the permissions, leave 'Use External Apps' enabled, so if anyone does try to use it, the app will @ the person who just used it in its public reply, effectively outing them.

The entire process is manual. It requires a user willingly and knowingly using a command on an image for the AI to receive it.
No different to copy pasting an image into a genAI website.
We still don't even want the option for it on Discord though.

It straight up isn't even in your server.
It is an app, directly integrated into the discord client.
It is not a scraper, the process of using it is entirely manual.
But yes, it fucking sucks that they've even remotely integrated something like this.

If they have cached that UserID at any point (Which can happen for any number of reasons), then it will return a username.
If they have never cached that userID, no username will be returned.

If someone uses genAI, ostracize them for it. Don't let people normalize this shit.
Poison your original works using the many available tools for that.
The usual anti AI measures.

Bit of a reach, that.

By allowing it to post, it @'s the user who input the command, effectively outing them for their hubris. Followed with a prompt ban from the server.

Which, for obvious reasons, is... Not great.
There are too many useful apps for server moderation and such for that to be viable.

I am not defending it.

I detest AI in all its forms.
Point is, it is a manual process.
It requires an individual specifically using the app on a selected image for the AI to acquire it. They are not scraping images.
I speak to inform, not to comfort.

The bot is not the app. They are two different things.
The app cannot be 'banned', as it is directly integrated into Discord.
I have been writing about this for a while now, so I have plenty of research posted if you wish to read.
