So. Still mad. Still angry at DA for becoming what they are. But I cannot deny this. Most of my art followers, well, are here. I encountered amazing peeps here, and my art would probably not be what it is today without this mess of a website. so. I have decided to partially come back. Meaning, I will start posting here again. Bare in mind tho, I will put an ugly ass watermark on my pics, for obvious reasons. AI stans can go to hell. And AI Imagery as a whole. So, as I partially expected, I am ""back"". But I won't be as active as I was. I'll be more active on Twitter (until elon fucks kills it lol) and Inkblot https://twitter.com/Adrelyr Inkblot

Alright. So, as I suspected, dust has settled and more precise information came through. Apparently, The noai checkbox is to tell 3rd parties AIs not to use this art piece. BUT, DA doesn't guaranty the fact they will not use it. So it is basically useless since they will always be bad people just ignoring this and use the art anyway. It still apparently does not prevent your art from being used in DreamUP. Which I would like it not to, like probably many artists. The form I filled apparently just prevents my name (and other specific words) to be used in prompts, but not my art. So, I still think I did right by deleting my art. As long as I am unsure about the fact my art WILL NOT be used in DreamUP, fuck it. My art is shit so it probably would not be appearing in prompts anyway, but I will not take the risk. I really liked this website back then. But changes by changes, it got worse. Need I tell about the fact they shove core in everyone's face for basic ass functionality, we all

If you do not live in a hole, you would have seen what DA did. In short, they made an AI generator tool that too your art and put it in its dataset. Oh and it was opt-in by default meaning you needed to check the 'do not use it in ai datasets' checkbox on every single one of your Deviations. The ended up adding a bulk update thing after we 'expressed our disgust' on twitter, then putting everything in opt out by default. While it is nice, its clearly damage control. I hate this. AS you saw, I deleted all my stuff. I won't deactivate, keeping my name and all, just in case. But yep, the AI thing was the final nail in DA's coffin. Fuck you DA. Fuck you. So, what now? well here's where you will be able to find me. Twitter: Its a hellhole of its own right now thanks to some rich ass mf we all know about but for now I'm staying. https://twitter.com/Adrelyr Inkblot: Its brand new, community owned. The website still has some quirks to be worked out, but it looks
