ok ok yes, before we start, i did see @CatTheLoaf 's project about this. i'm not trying to copy them, i'm trying to spread the word. so basically scratch is taking art from us for AI TRAINING?! this is certainly not okay to me; i've always HATED ai. HATED. i can't see how so many people use ai and find it wonderful. like yes, it can be helpful sometimes, but people are using it to steal art. kids are using it to do their school work. our generation is kind of failing because of it. kids won't know things if they use ai all of the time. they won't learn. i hate to say it, but ai is taking over our world. my dad was telling me about how i should do marketing when i grow up, which i don't want to do. at all. for context, i want to be an actress. but he said that by the time i grow up, ai will be taking over jobs. he says that marketing will probably be one of the only jobs that ai will not have taken over that you can earn money from (now i have nothing against my dad at all; he only brought this up like once so please don't go hating my dad he's really nice lol). but ai has gotten worse. sometimes i can't even tell if something is ai or not. anyways, for those of you waiting for "Echoes From The Silent Side," if art is being stolen for ai, then i'm going to postpone it. i know, i know, it's disappointing! i don't want to have to do this, but i do not support this ai. i think that's all there is to say. for now. <3, sunny
