Soooo Scratch is considering adding an AI art generator to scratch. This is unethical and just a bad idea on many fronts. Here are some reasons why: 1.) Exposure to sensitive content. Scratch is an 8+ CHILDREN’S website. You can generate extremely inappropriate images via AI, and if the younger children on this website were to see these things, it would be entirely Scratch’s fault. 2.) Art theft. AI generated art is not original. It “learns” how to draw by stealing other people’s original art. I fear that with the addition of AI art to this site, actual artist’s work on this site would be in danger of being stolen from. 3.) It isn’t art. AI art lacks the emotional depth that makes art “art”. A machine is incapable of doing what a human can, pour their heart and soul into a piece of art. If our artistic efforts are replaced by AI that can churn out 15 pieces of quote on quote “art”, have we wasted our lives? I joined scratch and became an artist because of the incredible people on here. Not because of some machine. We can’t let this happen! I know I always say “life will keep you spinning” but this would spin in a bad way! I beg of you, please do not let this happen.
