1/23 at like 10 PM EST - update, as of very recently fairly recently, which is to say today, scratch posted a statement regarding their new ToS (https://www.scratchfoundation.org/ai) which kinda sorta explains their whole stance on AI the highlight of the whole thing is near the end, where they state, "We also want to assure you that right now, we are not training any AI models on Scratchers’ data." key phrase is "right now" though and i'm not a big AI supporter either way so i still don't plan on returning or doing anything big here ------------------------------------------------ the gist of things for context on what's happening, read the scratch terms of services and privacy policy. (you'll see them under "Legal" at the very bottom of the site page) it's not affecting the art of the projects in any way from what i'm seeing, but i don't think anyone consented to this anyway. and in any case, i don't support any kind of generative AI, no matter what it does. #StopScratchAI
