Hi there! As you have probably seen, Scratch is gonna use AI. BUT its AI is not going to steal your art or personal info (it's important you know this) BUT it might use your code Well, what do I mean by that? From the info I have gathered (which btw could be wrong) scratch team is going to have AI look at block patterns and analyze code. Which some people don't like. And for the more artistic then code centered people on this website, it's basically like this: The AI would look at your art, compare it to other people's art, and then use it for things like tutorials, project recommendations, code helpers, and error detections (but for code). But scratch IS NOT using AI for your art Also, none of this has happened yet So then why am I going on a boycott? I think we should be able to opt out, just a quick little check box asking, "Are you comfortable with AI using your code?" Again, this is my opinion, and the information could be false I wrote this because I was bored: Since day one you've used your body In kindergarten, you learned how to write letters with your hand and a pencil In middle school, you learned how to use your voice In high school, you learned that feeling emotion and stress is human Throughout your life, you learned how to make decisions for yourself You have spent HOURS pouring your heart into your life From painting with a sore hand Stories written word by word To the music someone wrote because of a terrible experience WE have made this wonderful thing But not anymore The art is done in 5 minutes The story is deprived of its emotion And the story your favorite song is based on isn’t even true Soon your classrooms won’t be filled with emotion Sometimes it wasn’t even a good emotion But isn’t that better than nothing? You might tell me that AI is just a tool to make things easier for us But getting back all of the materials it uses won’t be The carbon footprint it wastes The water being taken from our home, called Earth? And Scratch The beloved site I’ve had since COVID, at least The code that children, teenagers, and adults have spent YEARS working on Being stolen with a simple click It’s a choice YOU have to make And this time, you can’t let AI decide for you WOAH did you actually read this lol??
*If any info is wrong, PLEASE let me know*
