deviantart's AI art program (and how to opt out)
this is for those of you concerned about this as i was, ill try to make this short and sweet! much thanks to @starryfeline for helping me with this
DeviantArt is now starting a program that uses all of our art for use in generating AI art. you are automatically opted in. there are currently 2 ways i know of that you need to do to opt out.
the first thing is to opt out of 3rd party use of your artwork to generate AI art. to do this, go into your user settings and check this box
then youll want to access their google form to opt out any online usernames you may have from being used by their DreamUp program to generate AI art in your art style.
i dont consider this the end of the issue, but it is a step in the right direction. its still unclear to me if everything posted here is being used to help DreamUp generate ai art, or if that was part of the opt-out in user settings. either way, its an incredibly shady move to opt everyone in in the first place, as those who no
Coming back to check on my old gallery here on DeviantArt and according to statistics people sure clicked a lot of times on my paintings ... in the last 10 years or so.
That is nice and I am happy that my pictures have been seen by fellow humans and if there are some that got inspired to grab a pencil and create some art themself it would be excellent.
And Wow I see that my art has been been trained. All my work (and probably all the work of my fellow deviants) has been integrated in the most popular AI text to image generators so now everybody can make pretty pictures with no effort at all! And some extra lucky people even make a tiny bit of pocket money! They just stole all or our hard work and it is gorgeous! Hallelujah! A new era of endless pictures has arrived! What a plot twist!
Am I special now? Does it mean I am a real artist now? ... uh?
To be honest - I always knew that I was just feeding the machine.
All this time I was just feeding this THING.
Still feels weird to
i got an DD !!!! what an awesome Christmas present !:xmas:
i´m in my second year at deviantart.It has been like an small revolution.like an catapult that projected me and my work out in the world.I learned so much and met so many people- worked together with them and gained friends.i passed the tenthousand-views mark and I did commissions and even sold a print! :D
Its difficult to put in words what deviantart did to me- but it is an very positive thing on professional and personal levels.man... i dont want to get emotive...but its really true! :D
this daily deviation happening at the end of the year is so rewarding - all the feedback and c...
i´m overwhelmed by the quantity of feedback and favorites coming in the last time !!! This is really rewarding for me and i´m very happy that my work is being credited by so many people.i want to thank everyone for faving my images personally but its near to impossible- i tried to do some quick copy paste of an thank you message but i feel bad to just copy paste and the system already thinks i´m a spammer...i´ll always try to respond to every comment i get but all these favorites are just impossible to respond- so the best i can do is to thank everybody who is faving my deviations here and now :
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU !! :handshake:
