I think someone didn’t do the research neded. (sic)

You certainly didn't.

  • Plenty of artists are worried about AI being trained on their data. No fediverse "platform" protects from it.
  • Plenty of artists want to have a way to monetize their work. No fediverse "platform" does it. The one that did try to do it (sub.club) shut down for insufficient interest

    As if any platform would be protection from AI.

    That's a separate conversation to be had, but a network that is only meant for authenticated users can certainly offer better protections than a protocol where everything is openly published and distributed to the whole public internet.

    True, but authentication won't stop people from using AI. It's kinda moot really, because it takes only a single user to "infiltrate" the platform, take the art and feed it to AI. And as we've seen, corporations don't give a fuck because nobody can threaten them legally - at most they pay a paltry fine and continue their shittery.

    Besides, the beauty of Fediverse protocols is that you don't need to federate and distribute. One could whip up a Mastodon/Lemmy/Mbin/etc. instance without any federation, just their own little safe space, and even harden it against AI - much easier than writing your own platform, protocol, clients, frontend and backend from scratch.

    Plenty of artists are worried about Al being trained on their data. No fediverse "platform" protects from it.

    I very much doubt Haven protects from AI scrubbing, either. Maybe it does today, but that's a constant cat-and-mouse game. I have doubts as to the efficacy of AI-poisoning efforts.
