What is Cara, the anti-AI social media app for artists?

  How creating an account in yet another centralized social media app is going to solve things? Policy might be anti AI now, but what happens if Cara get’s sold and the new company decides to change it? Don’t get me wrong is good that options are popping out to give some fair market share to Meta, but how is Cara sustainable in the long run?

    Same thing that happens if a federated instance goes bad: you leave?

      A big difference is that, instead of leaving all content behind because it was only hosted there, you still have a lot of content as only a piece of the federated content disappears (or defederates, or paywalls, w/e)

    I agree. But I think this an OK idea, until someone makes this with a FOSS platform, in the fediverse. Choices are good.

      If their goal is to prevent AI trainers from scraping their art then an open federated platform is the opposite of what they want.

      I tried to get a statement from pixelfed when it came to AI and content scraping but there has not been any replies yet.

  They also dont allow nsfw so its dead in the water for being any different than IG. Scrapers will get the art for AI

  How it’s anti-AI in a useful way? If I can view it, so can AI.

    Anti-AI people tend to be grifters just as much as the people who think AI (in it’s current form) will solve all our problems.

  I just shared this with my wife because she’s an artist and hates AI as much as I do.

  Apparently she made an account last night.

  They don’t appear to even have basic protections against ai. They didn’t even get rid of the context menu to download them, and the app shows uo in google image search which means google has the thumbnails. It’s a losing battle, if you can see it so can ai, but they could at least but a few speed bumps.

    The whole site seems like a PoC - the accounts don’t even have passwords! (I could actually kinda get on board with this)

      …please tell me it’s one of those apps that stores the identity on the device.

  Anti-AI is a brain-dead idea anyway. Artists should be more open with their art, not less. Yes, even with AI.

    Are you saying artists should be OK with AI companies stealing their art an using it without permission?

    source

    • darkphotonstudio@beehaw.org ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Well, if you don’t copyright everything, then it’s not stealing. We need more open culture, not closed off “IP”.
