Cara uses third-party content moderation services from Hive (an AI company) to prevent AI-generated art from being uploaded onto the site.

Hahahahaha so this friendly™ Chinese platform basically feeds every uploaded image into an AI to determine if it's AI.

Just self host your own personal blog/art or use a proper website and not that shitshow.

You can tell just by their tone that they know what they're doing is immoral and wrong, but they still do it. Hard to not become a misanthrope living in this society.

" I may soon have a way to remove nightshade" lol good luck with that

I love making art and I'm gonna stay focused on that instead of getting mad because wow some people are just worthless

This asshole is testing some deep waters when it comes to contributory liability of copyright infringement in the US: https://www.cooley.com/news/insight/2026/2026-03-26-supreme-court-confirms-limits-on-contributory-liability-for-copyright-infringement

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.

This isn't just about scraping the images, it's about sending the message

"We are the Swarm. We consume all."

It's amazing how disrespectful these idiots can be. They'll destroy and steal people's work, feed it to Big Corpo™ Slopinator 4.7, get shit-tier content in return, just because they chugged the kool-aid that this tech with billions of dubious investments is the future of everything.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.

But, isn’t this just a demonstration that Cara isn’t doing what it’s built for? If one person, who is honest about what they did, is able to scrape all the art for $10, wouldn’t the major AI companies also be able to scrape it?

And not only would they not be honest about it, it seemed like this went completely unnoticed by Cara.

What's special about my art is that I can make it, and I will make more. Most of it ends up being recycled anyway. Calligraphy is a silly art.

Absolute piece of shit

"Glazers?" Please respect the Midwest's term for glazed donuts. Glazers are way better than these thieves!

I wanted to verify this. It was real but has been since removed and judging from the missing comments by the moderators nonetheless, so that's a W. Then I looked through this community and here are some neat experiences I had:

• One post's subject was a goober on social media saying "cannibalism is more justified than ai art". I looked through all the comments - none of them even entertained the possibility of this being a joke.

• In fact it is very often that they just post some stupid anti-ai screenshot where the original post had like two impressions and title it the ai equivalent of 'they are coming for our guns!'

• I sorted by Top/Year. First post was a random drawing someone made with their hand and said "i'm not good at prompting so I drew this with my hand". My flabers have been gasted.

• It's pretty weird because it's like looking in a mirror in a way: their arguments are exactly the same as I thought they were* - and the way they are posting about us is sadly pretty similar to the way we are posting about them. This post included.

*And yeah, I think those arguments are terrible, but for some reason they don't and that weirds me out how when presented with the same arguments people can just go in completely different directions.

So this was my shallow dive into a community that shall not be named on a platform that shall not be named. Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

Greed and online superiority override shame now. These people are entitled and proud of what they do.

Yeah good luck asshole.

PSA to anyone who uploads art online, anywhere. Poison it first. Use the latest version. I'm sorry but you are in an arms race now. Dickhead over here is full of shit, but even if they're not, Nightshade is updated fast.

"defending AI art".... jesus, that's sad.
