I'm not going to say anything fancy. I'm skipping to the point. I'm going to boycott the scratch AI unless they get rid of it or make it a opt-out. Or I guess, leave. At first I only heard about the bit about the art. But after seeing @CupieMaster's project and many others' projects on this matter, the AI steals written stuff too. I don't want that. As a self-taught writer and artist, I'm not at all comfortable with an AI stealing my art. I joined Scratch because I loved how it was a safe place where you could share your games, art, stories, projects and so much more without fear of other people or AI stealing those things, and if they did you could report them. Now this is over. Yes, scratch, I "agreed with your new TOS". Only, I didn't agree with you stealing my art, stories, characters, or any other thing I posted on here. Sure, I should have read the TOS properlly or whatever. BUT WHO HAS THAT TIME AND BRAINS TO UNDERSTAND ALL THAT. And anyways, if I don't agree, I can't even leave without telling others of my leaving. So, I'll just have to settle with unposting every single project except those committed for others, like payments, past MAP parts... etc that I'm not certain I can take down without harming others. And yes, I also use AI. For reasearch. Not copying or stealing other's art. Those two things are very different. If (and that is a very big if) I post any other artwork or written chapters, it'll be... fun to decode. So for now, bye guys. I'll still respond to messages and stuff, but probably post art somewhere else. And if I do post anything here, it'll be altered/hidden somewhat/broken up into pieces
credit to all those scratchers who helped spread awareness. We can survive this! Good luck all those artists out there we can figure out a way to trick/boycott/sabotage AI
