see inside or go to the front page cause it's RIGHT THERE small rant about ai and a message to st please don't advirtise
ok yeah this site is making me want to leave more and more. if I become inactive assume I either left or got banned because what the fiddlesticks hey scratch I know you want to make this site accessable for young children, but giving them free access to ai and encouraging it, even /holding an event/ dedicated to it, your teaching these children bad habits studies have shown that interviewed elementary schoolers all have the same response when it comes to school and learning- "why do we need to earn how to add or subtract? how to read? how to do ANYTHING AT ALL? "because we could just ask ai to read for us, to do math for us, we can ask it for anything and don't have to learn anything at all because it can give us the answers." I know you mean well, I know you want to make this site accessable, I know you don't want them to feel like their art sucks and give them a sense of self-esteem, but these are /children/ and they don't know any better teaching them to use ai at a young age would just make them depend on ai in a negative way, it teaches them to rely on ai and believe everything the ai says basically taking away their creative thinking and problem solving skills promoting and encouraging ai may be good to some degree, but doing so would give them the thought of not wanting to learn or do anything because a computer can do it for them. ai generative images are also not true art, and it is theft!!! generative ai takes photos from all over the place and combines them together to form the image, so it's not always accurate, it's theft and it teaches children how to steal, and can discourage the young artists on scratch as well!! since young artists can see their work be stolen and can do nothing about it. if scratch really does callob with ai and adds a generative ai feature, I'm going to delete all my projects to keep my art safe and free from theives, and leave this site. I am not threatening anybody, and I do not wish to threaten anyone. I am saying this solely for the purpose of informing my followers and friends, so they know why I suddenly left and deleted all my projects. there is a huge art community here on scratch, and I genuenly love scratch. it's a place to learn, a place for me to build relationships, and a place to let me step into the online world. scratch has been with me for what, 5 years now? I genuenly feel bad to leave this site, and do not wish to do so there are so many nice people here, and I met so many awesome people!! I simply do not think adding a generative ai feature would be beneficial, sure adding like an ai assistant I'm fine with, to an extent, but adding a /generative ai/ WITHOUT any protective measures for the artists on scratch?? if the scratch teams changes the terms and add somethign along the lines of 'if you post this project you are giving consent to having your art be taken and used for generative ai purposes' I am genuenly going to delete all my projects and leave it saddens me to see st come down to this I wish st makes the right decisions and supports the art community that has built itself from scratch (pun not intended) on his site, and continue supporting the children who are still developing and learning all right that's it thanks for coming to my Ted talk
