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.

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 and how.

I wish a change this bug wasn’t hitting them at 1,000 Mph, but I think it’s an impossible battle to fight. Best they can do is probably move to an open platform where they can sell directly, and get rewarded by their fans, and maybe only post lower resolution versions or only a portion of their content and leave the rest for buyers or patrons.

In other words, I think the secret isn’t closed platforms & trying to lock down access to everything, but having as many ways as possible for users to easily & quickly reward creators.

That’s where my thinking goes with it too. AI is a freight train barreling down the tracks towards us in an enclosed tunnel 😅 People still value other people and genuine talent and work, so empowering artists and their audiences to connect and engage with each other seems like a valuable area to focus development, and nostr and bitcoin are well suited for this.
