as you may know, the scratch team is going to be adding AI to their platform. scratch, please don't cancel me for what i am about to say. this is my personal take on what is going on. let me tell you how this works. so the scratch ai model will feed off of people's art and potentially steal their STYLE. yes, STEAL. and us artists HATE stealing, especially if it is AI. i hate it too, believe me. so i know of several scratch artists who are QUITTING because of this. i am not going to quit, but i will not post art as frequently on here, if at all, until Scratch removes this feature. this is not okay. i can already imagine some 8 year old asking the AI to make a drawing, and it steals a REAL artist's style, stealing their art. this can hurt in the long-term for all artists, especially those looking to sell their art. while i do not sell, i do commission, and this makes it nearly IMPOSSIBLE.
scratch, please remove ai. otherwise you will lose many of your coders and artists. we make up quite a majority of the platform, so this will most likely mean you will lose over HALF of your platform. this has to stop. - @zoeythepupper
