Seeing posts from others about artists leaving IG for a platform called Cara because they’re worried about Meta scraping their art for its AI. My nephew is a professional illustrator/animator and said he and several of his colleagues are doing the same thing, because apparently Cara is geared toward the artist community. I hope we see apps on #nostr specializing for artists, musicians, and creators of all types, to connect with their audiences and easily publish and monetize their work.

Artists and creators are the most obvious demographic of normie users that want to maintain control of their own data, content, money, and follower lists. It’s why #nostr makes so much sense for creators, and why I believe they should be high priority end users for devs conside Show more

This. We need galleries.

Cara is going to be really interesting to follow. Looks like they are building an artist community where one of the core features being promoted is the detection and blocking of AI generated art. The quality on display there is amazing so far 🍿

Of course, nothing will stop AI from harvesting all the media on NOSTR as well.

As an artist with similar concerns- ultimately I don’t think there is anything we can do. Bots will [or already have] scrape the entire web. Just need to innovate and use the news tools available to us.

I feel for these artists but ultimately they’re not going to escape AI picking up their art with any method short of not displaying it at all. Unless they can manage to keep getting fulfillment via their current type of art despite AI copying it, I believe the best thing they can do is pivot their...

I've seen the hell of a lot of platforms like this over years and most of them render themselves useless cause it's just artists looking at artists and no economic potential gets created. Behance and Dribble works because they are geared towards high end of the industry. Etsy works cause it's a mar...

The only problem with this is that an open platform like #Nostr makes it even more likely that they will be used to train not only META’s Ai but also hundreds of other models. Whatever platform they use would need to be closed with no API access or KYC with serious limits as to who can use it an...

Nostr is all public data and content can be scraped for free here. We may not have solutions for images, but I hope we have tools and services some day soon for more creative people to utilize.

All platforms eventually screw their loyal user base. It’s just a matter of time with this one too. But, worth investigating what makes cara special.

If I can be a photographer, producing daily stock for Getty images, or Shutterstock, but there was a way to monetize (in BTC) I’d immediately migrate
