Thanks Raghukamath It's part of my testing/experimentation. Try comic with a low time/production/panel budget, this way I'll probably learn to make smaller Pepper&Carrot episodes, because I was expanding them so much on the last year they became unmanageable to produce. I'll write more about this on a blog next week. I'm learning how to find 6 pages " a comfortable device to storytell complex things". βΊοΈ
TL;DR: DeviantArt created an art generator called DreamUp based on Stable Diffusion, and art uploaded by the siteβs users will be used for training unless they opt out.
An ActivityPub-federated alternative to DeviantArt/ArtStation would be nice especially if it will let you manage and update assets/sources attached to artworks.
It's great that the Fediverse features different implementations that resemble mainstream social networks (Mastodon/Twitter and PixelFed/Instagram) and this is why I would iterate for DeviantArt/ArtStation too (PixelFed looks too much like Instagram for this purpose)
DeviantArt is the world's largest online social community for artists and art enthusiasts, allowing people to connect through the creation and sharing of art.
@Poulpette Yes, they are dominant on this market right now. But they have been bought by Epic Game, and I guess because Epic now co-own the right on all uploads/artworks on the platform, they'll try soon to use these data for something similar. I was sure this type of IA move would comes from Binance (Adobe) or Artstation (Epic Game) first, from deviantArt it's a bit unexpected.
I mentioned this topic to my friend and they did some digging and it looks like it was a huge misunderstanding on Deviantart's side? Apparently people who manage their official Twitter fucked up the announcement.

Before I go to bed, a summary of how I see the #DeviantArt thing:
If you're a DA user, you have NOT been opted into all your art being used to train other party's AI art engine, or DA's own new one.
Yep, they definitely did perform a massive foot shooting. My friends mutual worded it as: "No matter how logical and well-intentioned the product was, no one could listen under the immediate fight-or-flight response this announcement created".
I don't have very impressive art on the site, but damn did I not go to specifically opt out all that I felt I don't want used for such a thing.
I wish there was an #ActivityPub project with features and UI similar to the likes of #DeviantArt. #Pixelfed is not it, #MediaGoblin is long dormant and way behind. There's nothing but if music has #Funkwhale, there's definitely a place to be made for art!
@Petit_Lutin Ha, I never went to this section. Not sure what their ToS says about that. In any case, the word is really badly chosen, it really feels like a simple 'offline' deactivation. Bad.
@lemonheep Oh yes, true. I started to use Twitdesk because of that, but the image preview was smaller (they fixed it recently) and the prominent display of the like/reshare 'score' felt always wrong to me. Like if this amount tried to 'nudge' my appreciation of an artwork. I'm so happy the count here is not that prominent.

•Hasn't this always been the original comics format, i.e. "comic strip"?
