"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If it’s posted publicly, I don’t think there is a way to guarantee art will be safe from AI model training since scrapers can choose to ignore anti-AI tags added on places like Cara.app and Fediverse instances like mastodon.art that prohibit AI generated content and model training can still have their data scraped through other federated instances that allow it. You could look into communities that require a login to view content or have some kind of verification system for users. I found this list of anti-AI art platforms but have not personally tried them; maybe one of them has what you are looking for.
That's interesting, I didn't know that something as simple as a login for users would deter scrapers. I figured bots get everywhere and anywhere. I'll go through the list more thoroughly later, as they don't disclose their privacy/login-to-view options on the list, but thank you.
Last time I checked, it relied on artists using nightshade and other poisons, but iirc those methods are always lagging behind in the arms race, and require the artist constantly re-updating with newly poisoned versions of their work. This can get very time consuming.
Who told you that...? Tbh that sounds like what a techbro would come up with to deter artists.
Also, there really isn't another way to protect your work other than give it teeth of some kind. If it's on the internet, it can be found by scrapers.
Oh and you can post under your real name anywhere, no? Just have to name your account accordingly.
I was going to suggest Cara. It doesn't require you to use nightshade, that's your choice as far as I can tell.
I know, and I hear you. I actually liked Cara, I just didn't feel encouraged to move my whole portfolio there. I might end up there if I can't find another option.
