[manouchanart]

[manouchanart]

been slowly writing some self-indulgent fics

its not a lot but maybe ill share one day. also think i wanna write down some shorts for my wols.

i don't know who needs to hear this but if you ever wrote livejournal or fanfic dot net or even wattpad fic back in the day that you aren't totally embarrassed of....repost it on AO3 now. you don't have to actively write there now, use a different username even, but for archiving purposes it is so important. and with streaming and other things making older fandoms becoming popular again, newer fans are going to AO3 and not finding any of the wonderful history of the fandom. please if you see this and you don't write fanfic but you have a favorite on another site PLEASE tell them to repost it to AO3. not just so more people will see it but for posterity.

for the love of god, write all the self-indulgent scenes you want.  be utterly  shameless about including every last fantasy.  i know everyone likes to share quotes and quips about how miserably hard writing is, but please please try thinking of it as a joyful act where you get to be a messy human who makes art rather than some pain filled quest for icy perfection.

Artists Beware! Please read if you have a DeviantArt account:

https://twitter.com/DeviantArt/status/1591113199218487300?s=20&t=4k4OiBqcoEj0GgFm5_zKDg

DeviantArt have just announced that they're launching their own ai art generator, and every deviation that has ever been posted has been automatically opted in - I've checked this for myself and every one of my own artworks now needs to be manually changed in the settings of every single deviation otherwise they'll be used.

To have your artist username exempted from prompts you have to fill in a Google form to be approved by a human, and you must prove that you operate under your respective alias to ask them not to use it - read more here

Suffice to say I'm livid, I've been on DeviantArt for a decade and I'm going to shut down my account once I've manually opted out my hundreds of deviations. On their promotion page for the new tool they'll emphasize that it's *totally within the control of the artists* showing an image of the checked box that opts you out, while not mentioning that all of your previous deviations are already opted in by default.

I would recommend that anyone who has similar plans as me and wants to leave the site should manually opt-out for every deviation before shutting down your account, just to be on the safe side because I'm not sure if just deactivating your account would count as opting out.

I'll try to keep this post updated with accurate and up-to-date information since AI related stuff can quickly cause a frenzy online - don't hesitate to DM me with any new information and I'll update it here!

[drawingden]

After an update on their Twitter and some additions by other users I'm adding that apparently they will not directly use deviations for their own AI generator per se, but you still need to fill in the manual form to stop your username (and by extension art) from being used in their AI generator as a prompt, and you still need to manually opt-out all of your deviations so third-party generators don't have permission to use them. (At least that is my understanding currently of the situation)

I wanted to make that new distinction since it means my post wasn't entirely accurate, in that your deviations are not directly going into *their* generator by default. However it's still incredibly vague as to where they're getting the data to make these generated images, and the presence of the manual opt-out form would imply that it's very much possible for your art to end up in their AI process if you don't apply to have your name blocked as a prompt.

Slightly less bad, but still pretty awful and it's not very reassuring with how unclear this announcement has been

[drawingden]

Another update, they've now added a way to toggle AI permissions on and off for your entire account:

[dromaeocore-deactivated20250226]

Just a heads up for anyone with a DeviantArt, they have now made everyone automatically "opted in" for their art to be used for AI art. You have to go into the settings of every piece you've ever posted and opt out for each individual piece if you don't want your art to be used as "inspiration for" AI art. Additionally, users can now create AI art by inputting random DeviantArt users' usernames as prompts. Today might be a good day to opt out (or delete your account entirely, as I did).

PSA to artists on DeviantArt

DeviantArt announced their own AI model that is to be trained on artworks ALREADY uploaded to the platform. You can opt your artworks out one by one, but by default they are included in the data set!!!

I'd recommend opting-out with all your artworks ASAP if you don't want to contribute and letting DeviantArt know you're not happy with their decision. You can read more here! In case you are unfamiliar with this topic or unsure of your stance, I'd recommend this video.

The opt-out option on the artwork edit/upload page is for third-party tools only. If you want to opt out of DeviantArt’s own AI tool, you have to fill in this Google Form (Really.)

And it’s as bad as you might expect.

[manouchanart]

Got a coupon for some art supplies and I just really want new watercolors. It’s been so long since I’ve used them!!

[manouchanart]

Are tags still blocked on tumblr because of Apple?

[manouchanart]

It’s sunshine boy Prompto!!
