Sooo... Scratch is training AI off of our projects. I'm not usually against AI. In fact I'm a fan of it. It's helped me quite a lot tbh, but I AM AGAINST IT STEALING OTHER, REAL PEOPLE ART. If i'm honest, Yes, I do use AI to generate photos every once in a while. But that was before I found out how AI creates "art". This is not the best explanation but if you don't know, people train AI by copying OTHER, HUMAN-MADE ART. THEY ARE BASICALLY STEALING OTHER'S ART. If humans can't steal art MADE BY OTHER HUMANS, why can computers? IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. Some of my favorite scratchers and some of my best friends that I have made on scratch have left because of this. if this doesn't get better or something, I might leave too. I still have quite a few projects I need to finish before I can leave, Like the Heather MAP and a few animations I need to finish. I'll figure something out soon and leave updates on my profile. Stay safe.
HERE ARE SOME MORE PROJECTS THAT MIGHT HELP IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEARN MORE: scratch.mit.edu/projects/1269689951 scratch.mit.edu/projects/1270291994/ There are also a BUNCH of other projects that can tell you about this and probably a few studios so I recommend you check those out To all my friends and scratchers that have left because of this, I love you guys. I look up to a lot of you and I've improved a lot in TONS of dif stuff because of you. I got better at drawing and I LEARNED HOW TO FRIKIN ANIMATE because of all of you ppl. I respect your choice though. I'll Miss you.
