A Dude And Some Crazy Ass Fangirl (Postal 2 Version)

I spent the evening looking into this AI shit and made a wee informative post of the information I found and thought all artists would be interested and maybe help yall?

edit: forgot to mention Glaze and Nightshade to alter/disrupt AI from taking your work into their machines. You can use these and post and it will apparently mess up the AI and it wont take your content into it's machine!

edit: ArtStation is not AI free! So make sure to read that when signing up if you do! (this post is also on twt)

[Image descriptions: A series of infographics titled: “Opt Out AI: [Social Media] and what I found.” The title image shows a drawing of a person holding up a stack of papers where the first says, ‘Terms of Service’ and the rest have logos for various social media sites and are falling onto the floor. Long transcriptions follow.

Instagram/Meta (I have to assume Facebook).

Hard for all users to locate the “opt out” options. The option has been known to move locations.

You have to click the opt out link to submit a request to opt out of the AI scraping. *You have to submit screenshots of your work/face/content you posted to the app, is curretnly being used in AI. If you do not have this, they will deny you.

Users are saying after being rejected, are being “meta blocked”

People’s requests are being accepted but they still have doubts that their content won’t be taken anyways.

Twitter/X

As of August 2023, Twitter’s ToS update:

“Twitter has the right to use any content that users post on its platform to train its AI models, and that users grant Twitter a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to do so.”

There isn’t much to say. They’re doing the same thing Instagram is doing (to my understanding) and we can’t even opt out.

Tumblr

They also take your data and content and sell it to AI models.

But you’re in luck!

It is very simply to opt out (Wow. Thank Gods)

Opt out on Desktop: click on your blog > blog settings > scroll til you see visibility options and it’ll be the last option to toggle

Out out of Mobile: click your blog > scroll then click visibility > toggle opt out option

TikTok

I took time skim their ToS and under “How We Use Your Information” and towards the end of the long list: “To train and improve our technology, such as our machine learning models and algorithms.”

Regarding data collected; they will only not sell your data when “where restricted by applicable law”. That is not many countries. You can refuse/disable some cookies by going into settings > ads > turn off targeted ads.

I couldn’t find much in AI besides “our machine learning models” which I think is the same thing.

What to do?

In this age of the internet, it’s scary! But you have options and can pick which are best for you!

Accepting these platforms collection of not only your artwork, but your face! And not only your faces but the faces of those in your photos. Your friends and family. Some of those family members are children! Some of those faces are minors! I shudder to think what darker purposes those faces could be used for.

Opt out where you can! Be mindful and know the content you are posting is at risk of being loaded to AI if unable to opt out.

Fully delete (not archive) your content/accounts with these platforms. I know it takes up to 90 days for instagram to “delete” your information. And even keep it for “legal” purposes like legal prevention.

Use lesser known social media platforms! Some examples are; Signal, Mastodon, Diaspora, et. As well as art platforms: Artfol, Cara, ArtStation, etc.

The last drawing shows the same person as the title saying, ‘I am, by no means, a ToS autistic! So feel free to share any relatable information to these topics via reply or qrt!

I just wanted to share the information I found while searching for my own answers cause I’m sure people have the same questions as me.’ \End description] (thank you @a-captions-blog!)

CONTEXT OF THE AU. **Obviously, CONTAINS SPOILERS.

The story is about a girl named Ame. Her and her brother, Kazuki, were born and lived a little part of their lives in Japan. One day, Ame's family moved to a town in USA, called FARAWAY TOWN.

One day, Ame was collecting flowers at the park when suddenly heard someone yelling at her back. It was a boy called Kel. He gave her compliments about how many flowers she had collected, and how beautiful they are. Then he invited her to join his friend group, that's how Ame met everyone, and with time she gained the nickname "Amelie".

Amelie and Kazuki became closer with everyone: Mari, Aubrey, Basil... A little before Sunny's 14th birthday, both him and Mari announced that they were having their very first recital at beginnings of November.

Everyone became excited and started preparing stuff for the big day. Hero and Aubrey cooked a wonderful dinner, Kel went to have a haircut, and Ame and Basil decided to grow some beautiful flowers to decorate the stage.

Months passed and the flowers grew. The evening of the recital, both children went to collect the flowers, but... They were destroyed. Some of them were burned, other were poisoned, drowned or even stepped on. Basil, seeing what happened, became furious. Ame, in the other hand, tried to calm the boy down and find a solution... But he didn't want to listen. They started arguing, and then, they fought. Amelie, unconsciously, pushed Basil away. Since they were in their secret hanging spot, he fell into the lake.

After this, Sunny appreared and quickly ran to rescue the drowning boy. Ame, meanwhile, remained frozen. When Sunny came out of the water, holding an unconscious Basil, Ame stood up. Sunny checked the boy's vitals, but he wasn't breathing...

Sunny looked at the girl, a spark of anger and disgust starting to shine inside him. Amelie didn't know what to do, the only think she could've done is run back to her house. She locked herself in her room and stayed inside her house for almost 3 years... Since the day of the incident, Kel has been knocking on her door almost every week, until one day... She opened the door.
