Welp, there goes 18 years of history down the drain. Scratch has betrayed us and they don't care. They have decided to add generative AI to our beloved website and steal our own works for the training of AI models. There is no way to opt-out, by the way. I have contacted Scratch multiple times and I haven't gotten anything (of actual use) back. By the way, Scratch has allowed themselves to SELL OUR PROJECTS AND WORK to third-party companies (companies that aren't Scratch). Yes, for a price. Wasn't Scratch a non-profit? Now, they beg for donations to set up a hierarchy system that obliterates the values the website once had. There goes equality. Here comes AI slop. I don't want to live surrounded by AI slop. Everything I do (unless I say otherwise, and if I do, it's actually clearly labeled, unlike somebody who doesn't say what they want to do with AI... cough cough Scratch Team cough cough...) is made by me and not generative AI. If you don't know already, I won't be there for Scratch 4 because once it comes out, I'm packing my bags and leaving. I refuse to live next to hordes of AI slop, not to mention the incomprehensive amount of AI music already on the site because NOBODY CARES TO MAKE MUSIC OR GET IT OFF OF SOME SITE LIKE PIXABAY!!!! OH MY GOSH!!! YOU PEOPLE!!! at least you aren't as bad as the horrible, insanely greedy, crazy Scratch Foundation (and also the scratch team but they aren't as bad... mostly). And the final point to drive this recap of everything I said over the past few weeks home... We are children.* *(mostly) Scratch is directed towards ages 8 to 12. I am a bit older than that, but doesn't mean I have fun doing whatever. The fact that the Scratch Foundation would intoxicate children with AI instead of teaching them how to think out of the box and be creative is disgusting. The Scratch Foundation is disgusting after their past few moves. Until 4.0, see you soon. NOTE: If Scratch chooses to do the good thing and not add an AI, I won't leave. I might just watch the chaos from the sidelines and see what horrible chaos the Scratch Team has to deal with. Adding AI will only mean more work for them. I don't care. They betrayed me and all of us. They deserve what horrible things happen after they give us AI. We warned them. incompetence
There used to be a message for the Scratch Foundation that made them look bad. I don't want to get banned at the moment so I deleted it. (it's still in my projects list.)
