AI Run Slop Site
Yesterday my account account was suspended for a violation they didn't specify, just a vague accusation. This isn't the first time they have done this nor am I alone as a content creator making actual artwork, they have done this to other artists I know and talk to. It's pretty clear DA runs an illegal AI scraping operation, something they were sued over in the past. I protect my images using the University of Chicago's Nightshade and Glaze as should all original artists. It seemed pretty clear the account was banned because they couldn't steal my art to train their AI on. What they claim is a violation on their site is rampant but solely made by AI. "Rules for thee but not for me" mentality. My considered opinion is the site needs to be shut down and the owners sued into utter poverty.
