Skinseed Could be Using YOUR MINECRAFT SKIN for AI Generation
Hey Skinseed, want to explain what "publicly available datasets" you are using? Minecraft skin artists deserve to know if their work is being used to make your AI generated skins. This "dataset" is so vague, it could be anything from IP protected archives to people's personal Minecraft skins.
I did reach out for comment via email, but at this time there has been to reply. WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW:
1. Which database was used to train your upcoming model? Was it created with proper permissions and/or compensation, or was it sourced from external archives?
2. Were all creators whose work is in your dataset aware of it appearing in the dataset? Did they all consent to their data being used for generative training?
3. Will the AI generated content and the use of it contribute to your ad revenue? This includes scrolling AI generated archives and ads showing up.
4. Do you have plans to monetize, since most models are pay to use?
5. Does your team have plans to implement environmental offsets or put sustainability measures in place? Seeing as image generation uses a large amount of resources.
ANY Minecraft artists, people who have made Minecraft skins, or AI haters! PLEASE help us let Skinseed know we do NOT want AI and we are tired of theft!

For the time being, I highly encourage avoiding use of the Skinseed app on any device. They make revenue off of ad income.
If this goes through, this will be the largest, most accessible, AI Minecraft skin generator.
UPDATE. They replied to my email.
