i can't. this whole scratch ai thing and the whole "we're getting users' art to train ai" is stupid. artists have rights. authors have rights. musicians have rights. i will not be posting, commenting, or interacting here anymore. scratch is a place for coding, community, and creativity. when you add AI into that, you give me a dilemma: risk my art, music, and writings to be exposed to and even potentially stolen by ai... or quit. all my creative works across all accounts have been deleted. fellow artist, authors, songwriters, poets, musicians, singers, illustrators, coders, and members of the riverbean soup system, i encourage you to follow.
thank you for all your support over the years -river atl rydell January 22, 2026 "i hate ai!"
