Artist Jingna Zhang built Cara, a platform explicitly intended to protect artists from having their art stolen by AI…and yet these people just won’t leave them well enough alone.

Hahahahaha so this friendly™ Chinese platform basically feeds every uploaded image into an AI to determine if it’s AI.
Just self host your own personal blog/art or use a proper website and not that shitshow.
The idea I believe it to prevent your art from being scraped. Self-hosting Isn’t a solution
The problem is that you presumably want end users to see it, which means a remote machine must be able to download it, which means it inherently must be scrapable (since that’s just downloading and preserving it). You can make it take longer or be more annoying to accomplish, but you can’t actually truly stop it and keep the site usable.
Kind of like how the problem with DRM for video is that the end user can eventually watch it, which means barring all else you can at least point a camera at the screen to produce a copy.
To keep my art from being scraped by AI, I only display it in a physical gallery. The gallery is equipped with AI-based automated machine gut turrets programmed to paste anyone that tries to take a photo of the art.
I hope you programmed it to also target anyone wearing Meta glasses. If so can we just have these turrets placed everywhere?
