Thank you for this. It's astounding to me that somehow we have the attention span for a 7 minute video but not a thirty second article.

Totally agree, and still chuckle at the fact that it's an AI summary of a video about how artists are leaving a platform due to AI.

🤌

Was it a 30 second paragraph because you had AI summarize it? 🤔

Well, the main thing from Brad is reviewing tech for artists and showing how the product is used, so video makes sense. Videos like this are not that usual.

I just post wherever I see it first. I did actually search for articles about this one cause I know people prefer it, but it saw no indication in mainstream tech sites. It seems to have flown under the radar.

If I can listen to a human-narrated, 8-minute info dump passively, I'll chose that over 30s of reading "AI-summarised" wall of text any time.

two competing ones are better than one at least.

The "NO AI" clause is conditional, though.

As mentioned in their FAQ, they will reverse that rule when it is "viable in terms of data privacy and ethicality"

unless the rampant ethical and data privacy issues around datasets are resolved via regulation.

Whilst they aren't VC-Backed, their servers already had to do nearly 10 upgrades, their "AI Detection" is backed by another, third-party AI, and it's not transparent what said service is.

And to top it off, it's a closed ecosystem. You upload your art there, and either Cara dies one day and your following is gone, or they change their policies, leadership or anything else, at which point everyone will have to move again

it's yet another case where the Fediverse and other Federated networks address the core issue that lead to this disaster - content ownership - better than systems like these do. I'm not hopeful for Cara.
