“Because love is what makrs nut”?
Deleting your gallery absolutely will help, as a sign of protest.
Even if deleting your gallery on a known AI art site (such as Instagram or DeviantART) “won’t help,” it is still beneficial to do so anyway, as well as no longer sharing your art on or interacting with the website that is actively feeding your work into their AI. DeviantART in particular is nothing without the artists whose shoulders they stand on and these corpo clowns need to be reminded of that.
I had a nearly 20 years old gallery on DA, deleted it when they announced the dream up ai bullshit.
Sometimes hurts to think about, but then some new bs from them pops up that reminds me I did the right thing.
link rot/lost media caused by removing those is pretty sad though, I hope people still have them posted elsewhere… having art removed from public view just for preventing AI misuse is quite depressing.
I think they are referring to removing their gallery from everywhere, but yes it is absolutely right to remove it from ‘AI’ supporting sites.
