Scratch recently updated its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, which caused a lot of confusion in the community. The update clarifies that Scratch may use shared content — including projects, code, sprites, and forum posts — to train AI tools aimed at helping users learn coding and improve their experience on the platform. AI art generators are still rejected. The purpose of this change is strictly educational: to train AI systems on Scratch-specific content such as help forums, code examples, tutorials, and common beginner mistakes, rather than on unrelated internet data. The update does not give Scratch the right to claim user projects or to reproduce artwork for generative purposes; it is intended to make AI tools better at giving guidance, hints, and learning support in the style of Scratch, while keeping the community’s creative contributions safe. Many community members misinterpreted the “AI training” language as allowing generative art or copying, which led to widespread panic and social media discussion, but the change is about educational assistance and formalizes tools Scratch has been exploring for a long time. In other words, SCRATCH IS NOT STEALING YOUR ART. If you believe me then please share this project, a panic is happening all over Scratch over nothing, we need to stop it.
Good news, my game star struck got 500 views in an hour, bad news, that's also a bad game.
