OG DESC BY @Iavilie Boycott : february 1st to the 7th it means i'll be offline for 1 week i'll be back on the 8th JOIN THE BOYCOTT even if it's just for a day, and even if you're seeing this a few days late, you can join anytime (and quit anytime lol) ^^ WHAT IS THE BOYCOTT ABOUT ___ Scratch will get an ai soon. even if the ai isn't generative and won't steal art (it will only help for projects and code), there's still reasons why i'm against scratch ai. i'll try to make it short, because ik i always write too much : ◇ first, ai isn't good for the planet. i won't developp that part or i won't have space left for the other reasons lol ◇ second, it would be better to promote help from the community (real humans) than to replace them by an ai. we learn better by trying by ourselves, making mistakes, and explaining things to other people ◇ third, even if they arn't doing generative ai right now, they can still do it whenever they want to ◇ fourth, according to the new tos, they have the right to use every content we post here for whatever they want, even commercial purpose and ai training. they gave us explanations (and i'm happy they did) about is which way they'll use our datas for ai, but i still don't agree with the overall idea ◇ fifth : yes, nowadays, childs should be taugh how to use ai, since it can be a real benefit if you know how to use it as a tool to learn more and better. idk yet how scratch will manage it, so i'm hoping they'll do things that way. yes, im not 100% against ai, because nothing is 100% good or evil. i'm still mostly against it tho IF YOU THINK BOYCOTT WON'T MAKE THINGS CHANGE ___ at least we're trying, things can only change if you take actions and if you believe in it. plus being offline for a few days can only be healthy, we often spend too much time on screens, so yeah, not useless (im myself too often online, it won't hurt to stay in the real world for 7 days) ^^ it's ok if you don't agree with something i said, you can have your own opinion lol have a nice day <3
