Yeah the monetization is what brought this downfall in the first place. It’s definitely not the same as AI, it’s sharing pre-existing work and unlike most platforms, with credit directly to the artist’s socials or webstores and was especially good for fashion designers and artist-sellers (though that also started going downhill since it got overtaken by dropshippers). I looked up online and found alternatives already such as cosmos.so which includes user owned media, not just reposting, but my issue came with then protecting said media from being scraped by AI en masse

If it’s a lost cause for Americans it rly ain’t any better anywhere else considering how many companies are owned by them :'))) if you guys can’t stop them, there’s no way someone from a bumfuck country like myself could do anything about it besides informing myself and rejecting it as much as I can

Should I be afraid to ask what slurping is?

Please, and I will scream of your work from the rooftops

Welp. Let’s bring back indie art and photography galleries

scheiße

One of the reasons why I made this post is my dissatisfaction with pinterest lately, as it was one of the only major platforms I genuinely used. It’s an absolute shithole now, there’s no debate about that. If for example, a pinterest-like platform could exist without needing to be visible to non-registered users or search engines (you could search in the platform yourself anyways), would there be ways and infrastructure to make this platform safe from AI?

genius… poisoning the well is definitely something we should work on. And ofc deploying that poison to the major platforms

ut that shouldn’t be possible text, while keeping it human readable (unless you embed invisible text into the page itself). For pictures on the other hand you can use tools like nightshade.

So for example, a writing platform may decline to provide user data and book data to AI data companies, and there still isn’t any known way to actually stop them?
