Artist Jingna Zhang built Cara, a platform explicitly intended to protect artists from having their art stolen by AI...and yet these people just won't leave them well enough alone.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

An app like Cara, that positions itself as an Anti-AI art platform, would obviously be targeted by anyone who's offended simply by its existence.
Not only its a honey-pot of art, it's also a challenge for any self proclaimed ai "prompt kiddie" to hurt the other side.
They need to apply better protections to at least make mass scraping by bots a bit more difficult and expensive.
It's kind of an intractable problem though. The more "protected" the art is, aka restricted from the public, the harder it is to actually show human beings.
I think the only practical solution would be "prints only." Archive the digital copy, display the prints in museums... not to replicate Instagram.
