Well, I'll follow the others. I may be a tiny artist, but I also have pride and I don't want my work to be minced. So far, those I've been watching on Twitter have already left... And I am struck by flashbacks with DeviantArt and their AI, but at least they gave us the opportunity to abandon their work with our arts.
God bless Fur Affinity! So far, this is the only place where I feel safe for my work. Will I get a BlueSky? Who knows.
Maybe it's hot-tempered art, but I hate it when someone takes my stuff without asking!

Yeah, I find it truly frustrating as well. Twitter was the platform I had the most success on, now most people have fully left it. I'm still there, but I am only there in hopes that their choices will be reverted (which I doubt).
For the time being, I've been making sure to nightshade any piece I put on that site, if not to act as anything more than a Hail Mary.

They've decided to start feeding posted images and information to train "Grok," their AI platform for all the usual gimmicks. Twitter's a little late to that whole bandwagon, actually. It's created a lot of artistic pushback. I haven't set up a Bluesky yet because I'm lazy and it'll probably be boring and I wont get any followers except bots, kind of like Twitter is pretty boring and nothing but bots.
Oh, you know. That it streamlines, allows for more creative convenience. Etc. All those AI art apps do the same thing. Actually most of what gets called "AI" now is just a big marketing gimmick, sort of like the "internet of things" and "smart" and other hot at the moment abstract phrases that the tech industry comes up with that come and go. Even programming and tools that have been around a long while have been rebranded as AI. I don't know what it'll do in the long term, I think the redundant stuff will become obsolete and go away but some of it will continue to become more ingrained in everything we do. The fact it's getting hard to tell what is real and what is AI generated is enough to bother me.
