DeviantArt actually reversed their auto opt in for AI training thing so that's a plus.,(reply>), Artists want to opt out, because they are being made to train their replacement, against their will, and for free.<br>It takes 4+ years of full-time training to become skilled enough to become a professional artist, and then more to gain recognition in the industry, and then hours or days to complete a single work of art.<br>and with AI, after they input your lifes work, it mimics your style, and in seconds pumps out 50 different variations, so a company can bypass the artist and go straight for the discount counterfeits.<br>In 20-50 years, it will be perfected, and there will be 5% or less of the current population of human artists being paid to make art, and those that remain will likely be moved into quality control positions.,(reply>), wow, actual discourse and understanding. +1 to Fuzzy and Fenris for being real human beans.,(reply>), @Fenris Waffles Thank you for your patience. Have a nice day.,(reply>), @FuzzyHenry Deviantart (initally) made all images opt-out, as in by default they were available to be used as training data in the new AI DA was making. And that combined with no useful way to bulk change your gallery to opt-out, made users frustrated. The tweet is showing the setting and how it should be set.,(reply>), @Fenris Waffles I have absolutely zero problem with option ability. I'm just trying to figure out what DeviantArt did,  what artits want,  and what that Twitter pic means.  I just can't make up the whole picture.
