Creativity is a uniquely human characteristic that no amount of 1's and 0's masuerading as something original can replicate. There are valid uses for AI and machine learning — like aiding breast cancer screening (Google, 2021). Using these tools to try and mimic other humans, their talents, and their creativity is disgusting and abhorrent.
To those who enjoy making art — please consider "glazing" your work1 and publishing on platforms that aren't known for being hostile with AI usage.
For programmers who'd like to get off GitHub, reach out — I'd gladly welcome more people to the codeforge I run.

No part of this site has been written by any type of AI and it never will. The site's source code does not prohibit the usage in AI models, but I ask kindly that you refrain from such. The licence for text on this site also do not prohibit using it in AI models, but I again ask you to refrain from such.
I block several known user-agents for model training and will block more as I learn about them. You can see a full list of blocked user-agents here.
Revised on 14 August 2024 for clarity. Revised again on 27 January 2025 to include a footnote for "glazing" works. See past changes here.
I've been told that "glazing" works isn't as effective anymore. The team behind it say otherwise. Do with that as you will.
