Pinterest will train its GenAi with our data.
Added 2025-03-11 14:47:35 +0000 UTCHello, I know many of you repost my previews and exclusive contents on Pinterest. I know I can't stop you, but it's gonna be a very big problem because Pinterest will start training its GenAi with EVERYTHING.
I denied the consent on "privacy and data settings", but I have no control on the thousands of people who keep reposting my studies.
Please, if you don't want to stop reposting, go into your privacy and data and uncheck the GenAI setting...
At this point I don't want to draw anymore, but my whole family depends on my work, so I can't. π

Good gods I hate how AI is ruining every artspace... I've always deeply admired your art, and your studies are such a massive inspiration for me. - I've had the idea for a piece in mind for over a year now, with no idea how to put it to paper, and then the other day while looking through my folder of your works, I found just the most perfect pose, finally letting me start on that drawing. Seriously, thank you for sharing your work! I hope all this bullsh*t theft & AI doesn't get you down!

2025-03-12 16:07:01 +0000 UTCI'm really sorry to hear this. Have you considered using Glaze ( https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/ ) or even better, Nightshade (https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html), to protect your art? It won't help with what's already out there, but it can protect your newer works and nightshade actually poisons AI models!

2025-03-12 00:28:01 +0000 UTCIf you want, you could use Ko-Fi! They also have a tier system similar to the on here for people who want to support you! That way you still draw without having to worry about AI. It's your choice though, if you're done with drawing, I'm respectful and understanding of that too.

2025-03-11 17:27:03 +0000 UTCHave you considered putting a giant ass low opacity watermark over the whole image in an obnoxious color? It wouldn't make them unusable as a reference (their intended purpose) since it is transparent ish but it might stop SOME select few of the people reposting from doing so? And whenever you publish a book that is how people can get a watermark free physical copy?

2025-03-11 17:26:58 +0000 UTCI'm very sorry people keep reposting your stuff :( I appreciate your heads up to toggle that off though for any of my own work once I start a sticker business myself! Thank you Kibbi, and good luck! If you ever do need a break and can financially do it, I would highly encourage so.

2025-03-11 17:21:19 +0000 UTCHow upsetting that this has you so discouraged. I did see your previews on Pinterest, which is how I got here. I'll see to it that it's unchecked, because I don't want my own art trained to make that disgusting AI slop. I'll also make sure to spread the word. Thank you so so much for all the hard work that you do! Your studies often save my sorry behind if I feel uninspired, or if I need a reference.

2025-03-11 16:14:15 +0000 UTCI'm so sorry. I hate this AI bullshit so much. I never repost your work by the way.

2025-03-11 16:07:07 +0000 UTCIt's so disappointing to see so many apps and sites using AI to steal and reference off other's hard work and dedication to their craft. Ai never should have touched the creative field in the first place. I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. I'm happy that I'm able to support you here and to continue seeing your studies.

2025-03-11 15:24:24 +0000 UTCI started sharing these studies in 2011/12 and my work has always been traced, stolen and resold in various ways. My name deleted/covered/replaced. Someone literally pretended to be me. My books pirated even in art schools (this one is absurd hahaha). I survived everything because a tiny part of me felt flattered by this weird appreciation(???) , but...I can't accept being fed to a GenAi. it's dehumanizing. Anyway thanks for being here, I'm deeply grateful :'D

2025-03-11 15:21:47 +0000 UTCDone. I'm so sorry for how frustrating this is. It doesn't seem like creators have a safe space anymore and everyone is looking to take advantage of artists trying to make their way. I love your work and appreciate how much effort you put into each monthly contribution. Thanks for letting us know how we can support you!

2025-03-11 15:12:21 +0000 UTCIβm so sorry to hear that. Your work is wonderful and I hope you can find joy and satisfaction in it again.

2025-03-11 15:00:46 +0000 UTCIβm so sorry that this has you so discouraged. I made a point to pay for your references because I kept seeing them pop up in different places. I hope despite this you can find joy in your work, because it has heart and soul and intention in ways that the generative crap can never achieve.
