Welcome to the cause! I would love to follow you on Pixelfed.art. Lovely painting!

Isn't it heartbreaking what mass art theft on the internet has done to artists? I was recently thinking "maybe I should try posting art online again" and then I remembered why I deleted it all in the first place: AI.

Fuck yeah, good job!

Wow. Lot of folks giving you shit in here.

Brave move, OP. Best way to starve the GenAI is to just be as human as possible.

Make sure you delete your gallery off of DeviantART too. They are also feeding your works into their AI.

I hate to say it, but deleting content on major platforms apps will not stop them from using it, they will keep it, and train on it. Unfortunately the best we can do is cease uploading to them, and never trust big tech ever again.

Make an EU GDPR request for them to delete your data. Don't live in the EU? You can lie!
