Tried to register a Loudly account using my email from Tutamail, but only got “invalid email”.
Sent an email asking what was wrong, this was their reply (guess they only accept US emails. And here I thought Loudly was European) :
Hi, Thanks for your email and interest in Loudly! We don’t block any specific email domains, including Tutamail. However, our system uses a service to analyze email addresses and determine whether they are valid and recognized. Occasionally, less common email providers may be flagged as invalid during this process.
We recommend using a well-known email provider (such as Gmail, Outlook, or Yahoo) to ensure smooth registration.
If you have any further inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Best regards,
Your Loudly Team
Kudos for quick response, thumbs down for the fix it yourself “solution”.

Someone else’s use of it doesn’t shoehorn it into your life; you’re letting your irritation at google suggesting it every three minutes lead to saying no-one else should use it.
Generating stuff with AI takes a comparable amount of energy to playing a video game. It doesn’t “delegitimize information” in any way, and doesn’t devalue the “art making process”, it’s just a different process for arriving at something kind of similar. If the outcome were the same, it might devalue the process, but that would then be a good thing.
That only leaves alleged copyright infringement which to be honest I thought we were cool with. In any case, the OP’s use of an AI image generator isn’t going to lead to them not buying the art it was trained on so, again, not really a problem.
If you don’t like it, don’t use it.
Aww were you expecting everyone to agree with you? Sorry to have confronted you with a contrary opinion to the prevailing one.
