#opt out by default

OUR CONTENT SHOULD BE OPTED OUT OF AI TRAINING BY DEFAULT!

#no to ai #create don't scrape #support human artists #opt out by default #no to ai generated images #ai is theft

[hannah-heartstrings]

The ability to opt out of their ai scraping is still not available on mobile for me, so I did it on desktop. That should be fine right? I don't need to do it on both?

I feel like that's probably a stupid question, but just in case.

#tumblr #ai #anti ai #anti ai art #no to ai art #no to ai #opt out by default #create don't scrape

[megamijadeheart]

So, opting out of AI on mobil is supposed to be under Settings > Visibility.

I had to do a web search to find this out, because I have been going through every settings submenu looking for it.

On my app, for my account? It is not there.

I am an active user and I cannot opt out because the option is literally not given to me.

I am an artist.

@staff do not ever automatically opt people *in* without their express consent. I don't care what other sites are doing. If you are worried that no one would opt in? Maybe ask yourself why that is. My right to my own art is worth more than whatever ai sites are paying to to steal it from me. And if you disagree, you will lose access to my art. I don't have to post it here, or anywhere. I'm providing you content for free. You don't get to sell it on like you made it.

#no ai #opt out by default

So, Tumblr's doing the AI thing. If anyone following me here is planning on leaving, wants to still follow me, and doesn't already do so elsewhere, I've got all my other socials on my carrd: Right Here!

I'll still be here. Truthfully I don't think anywhere online is safe from AI scraping anymore lol, but I won't be walling myself up in a discord server or anything. At least we have nightshade now, I guess.

#they added an opt-out button but it really should have been opt-in by default #same mistake deviantart made :/

a harrowing gaze into the abyss 🦆📰 #DuckLogic

#i think tumblr was opt out by default when chatgpt was trained. yes even for scraping. no seriously

[beescake]

on a casual note i don't see why anybody on tumblr would want their posts getting sucked into the ai stream

so please tick 'prevent third-party sharing' for each of your blogs, and remind each other to do so as well

#outtakes #i love getting tech news from sollux accounts HAHA it guys i trust #tbh this feels like the same exploitative move as deviantart of forcing people to choose opt-out instead of opt-in #pretty fucked up to set default just to get a big pool of data right off the bat #all the abandoned accs who'd previously shared their work are probably going to be swept up if this news doesn't spread outside of tumblr

[eerna]

heyyy queen I saw your post about how unregulated data stealing AI is trash and I just wanted to let you know that I agree. although I myself am an AI partner, (i know, ugh) i am on your side. “one of the good ones” as some may say. btw I never even noticed how preventing from third-party sharing your blog settings are till now but they’re automatically disabled now

#eernatalk #@ staff literally just turn off the setting by default just let ppl opt in instead of opt out is that so hard

[chromegnomes]

"works created by AI cannot be copyrighted bc they were not produced by a human being who can claim copyright" would solve so many more of the problems with AI Art than any of the convoluted solutions that involve policing and/or paying royalties for the images used in training data

the logistics of the latter are a nightmare, and the people arguing for it would NOT want the implicit logic applied to the reference images they use for free from google dot com

#i do think it's good that art upload sites let you opt out of your work being used to train ai tho #it probably doesn't actually stop them a lot of the time but it's nice to not Consent By Default

[chibigaia-art]

Just so you know, tumblr is currently using art for AI training and the only way to stop them is to go into your settings and turn it off 'third party sharing' manually (on each of your blogs)

ty for the warning anon, I already did it yesterday but I appreciate the heads up!!! anyway im so fucking tired, I'm not gonna make other socials like everyone else is doing because I already have barely the willpower to take care of the sinking ones I have atm and this website is the only one where I can be cringe and free so

#chibiblabbing #i am extremely pissed off tho #i appreciate the opt out option (<extremely dystopian and sad thing to say) but it should be turned on by default

[aethernoise]

Vowing to "discourage" scraping of data "except by the [fucking parasites] we partner with" when the partners in question are the biggest aggregators on the internet doesn't mean much to me @staff

#also you should just opt everyone out by default #🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[kyle-steen]

Attention to everyone!!!

Tumblr is apparently planning on selling scraped user data from blogs and sell them to dumb af A/I companies. You know the ones. And it’s opt-in by default.

I highly suggest going to your settings, on each individual blog you may have mind you, go down to Visibility, and click that 3rd option shown above!

The CEO was already being weird on Twitter, this is just another massive disappointment. Fuck Genai, fuck these companies trying to steal peoples work, and fuck Tumblr for agreeing join in.

#art #illustration #artists on tumblr #tumblr #data scraping #tumblr news #it should be at least opted-out by default dumbasses

i’m writing this with a pounding migraine, so bear with me, but i feel like a decent percentage of homophobic m*levens genuinely find byler unsettling, and are coming from a place of unease/discomfort

imagine living in a world where you can turn on a TV show and feel comforted knowing there’ll be at least someone on screen who you feel represents you. no matter what show, no matter what movie, there’s always someone who you’ll be able to relate to

now imagine- if you’re living under this assumption that you’ll always be represented, anything different feels like having the rug pulled from under you. if you’ve spent your whole life seeing straight couples on TV (and expecting straight couples), having a character turn out to be gay can feel almost like deception. you were in your comfort zone, and now you’re not anymore. think about all the tweets you see from m*levens talking about how disappointed they are about the “lack of straight representation”

and so you start to see this as a threat. any POSSIBILITY that a character (one which you happen to relate to) can end up being gay, that becomes a threat, because you’re not used to being forced out of your comfort zone

if it turns out that mike reciprocates will’s feelings, that’s a “betrayal”, because the assumption was that, unless the audiences was given a big flashing warning in advance that “this will be a character you won’t be be able to relate to”, he would be a “safe” character. he wouldn’t make them have to question anything, because he’s a “default” guy. mike being queer would mean that they were never given the option to “opt out” of representation. it would also force the audience to start looking at their media critically and wonder why they assumed he would be straight. and that would, in turn, force them to look at the world around them and ask themselves the same questions

or, even worse [cue dramatic music] it forces them to reevaluate themselves and their own relationships with other people. thinking about a girl i know who gets really weird around byler, who’ll say “they’re not gay, everyone’s like that” but has yet to consider that maybe no, not everyone’s like that

for most people in minority groups, there never was this default-representation to begin with, so there’s not the same feeling of “betrayal”. there was never the inherent assumption that you can just turn on any piece of media and immediately recognize yourself in one of the characters. you get used to relating to PIECES of a character, rather than the whole, cause you know that you’ll never see yourself in entirety being represented on screen

but if you’ve gone your whole life thinking your specific experiences are “normal”, and inherently deserve to be represented on screen more than other experiences, only for your expectations to be subverted, it forces you to question WHY you assumed you were the default. and i feel like a lot of people don’t want to ask themselves that question

#which is also why i think straighbating should be more common #while it’s fun to joke about #it actually serves the important purpose of reminding people that #1. you CANNOT opt out of diversity #2. if diversity makes you uncomfortable then learn to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations- because queer people aren’t going anywhere #3. you can’t assume yourself to be the default #anyway #stranger things #byler #byler tumblr #anti m*leven #analysis #mike wheeler #will byers

[sonknuxadow]

with the ai thing does anybody know how it works with reblogs. like if you opt out are your posts completely safe from this stuff or is your choice ignored if somebody who hasnt opted out reblogs it and its taken from their blog . or does this only apply to original posts and not reblogs ? idk

#this whole thing is so annoying . #the fact that they set this up in secret without giving any warning until the day they rolled it out #just shows they knew people wouldnt like this lmfao #also its always so scummy when sites introduce stuff like this and have everyone opted in by default #instead of only using the posts of people who have actively told them ''yeah its okay i dont care'' #if they did it that way people wouldnt be nearly as upset. i know i wouldnt be anyway #but again they probably do things this way because they know most people probably wont like it

[micamicster]

It’s so hard to steal an honest photoshop in this day and age 😡

#default save to cloud no opt out my beloathed

[neonscented]

With the recent news about tumblr partnering with Midjourney and OpenAI, make sure to go to your blog settings (on desktop) to opt out of your blogs data being used if that’s what you prefer.

If you have side blogs, you will have to individually opt out on those as well.

#Neon’s words #It’s like they didn’t learn from the Deviantart situation at all… lol #When you’re doing that sort of thing it should be opt out by DEFAULT #Especially since — as far as I’m aware — they’ve made no notable post announcing this #I had to find out through Twitter

[ironladders]

this is just the deviantart situation part two lmfao

#amazing how when i start to be active here again everything is hashtag awful 😍😍 #MAKE OPT OUT THE DEFAULT YOU MORONS
