Here's a lil comic strip about how you can protect your art before sharing it to the public!!!

Against AI and against art theft too!

Click on 'read more' to see the extra tip I mentioned at the end!

Geez been working on this since the Meta AI things blew up but I only finished just now!!

Here's the extra tip I mentioned at the end:

you can use http://haveibeentrained.com to search for your images and find out if your work has been used for AI.

In there, you can choose to opt out, but AI companies are not obligated to respect it so it isn't too much of a protection unfortunately 😭

Also be aware that they are associated with AI and they did try to badmouth glaze so artists wouldn't protect themselves; which's very bad for a company that allegedly are on the side of the artists.

Also!!! There's a new type of AI that I was just made aware of last week, Copainter.

It completes unfinished work, which can be used for 'stealing and claiming it theirs', so put a cat picture in the next wips you post as well!

Funny protective measure I know LOLLLL but here's the tests for yall cynical people:

Perhaps I'll complete this comic with this info one day, but just these 10 slides took a looot of work so probably not happening anytime soon 😭

Thank you for reading everything though, I really appreciate it and hope this will help 🫶 be careful out there, privacy issues have been crazy recently!!!

This is part of my ME:A au universe, I’m calling it ME:Singularity at the moment. The basic gist is that the Andromeda Galaxy has pre-established alien societies that are the main governing power in the Andromeda, much like the milky way, but strange and foreign by ME standards.

This is the Omaridyne, they are one of the three original founders of the Galactic Commune, the largest political and governing body in the Andromeda Galaxy. There closes earth analogs are echinoderms or sea cucumbers. The Omaridyne evolved on a moon orbiting the gas giant Oli and as a result, started space exploration significantly earlier due to the close proximity of Oli’s habitable moons. They would later have first contact with the Tyreem and found the Galactic Commune. 

The Omaridyne are the only species in the galaxy that have three biological sexes. These are male, female, and namlee. Their third sex, the namlee allows them to produce hybrid offspring with other levo-amino acid species. In addition, Omaridyne also changes their sex based on the availability of suitable mates. 

There’s a lot more about the Omaridyne but I’ll continue it in a later post
