update, 28 february. screw this project. screw my promise. screw scratch team. i'm posting anyway. Heyo, Sage here ! In case ya haven't heard, Scratch just updated its Terms of Service and will be using it's users projects to train AI models. They do not state what data will be taken. I am heavily against the use of Generative AI. I will be taking down every personal picture I have used on my account, since they do not state what they are taking. I advise you to do the same, no matter what you share. Poetry, coding, stories, art, whatever. We don't know which of your belongings are going into these machines, and I don't think Scratch cares. Unless Scratch listens to its community for one damn time, this may be the last time I post here. As soon as there's an option to opt out of AI, you'd better believe I'm opting out and going to start posting again. But, nothing so far. I will still be active to talk to you guys because i love y'all, but no longer posting anything. if you'd like to talk offsite, i'd be happy to provide a link to my pin <3 Update 22.2.26 Okay so I just noticed that ST "addressed concerns" about their new privacy policy without me noticing for like a month smh. But I read it and they didn't actually address ANYTHING. They said they want to be transparent and that they're not training the models on user's data. Which is good, but then what ARE they training it on? And they said they want to hear from the community, despite that one project with like 10 thousand views about stopping AI. ST doesn't actualy give about you or the community as a whole.
