Upon using this site to see if I have been exploited by AI training: haveibeentrained.com/

I have learned that a good number of my images on DA, in fact, all of them are from DA.... have been used in generative AI training, some images have been used multiple times.
Although I permit some of it to continuously be used for now, it has destroyed my last bit of trust that I am willing to place on this platform.
I have been here since almost the beginning, I have paid my core memberships, I tried to be supportive to the community, now I am just part of the cash cow to this dying platform.

I am truly sad this is the way I need to depart.
I will be archiving my gallery to my site, after that we will proceed with deactivation, including my studio club account.

This crap-show of AI gold rush using the blood and sweat of the artists without respect has really left a foul impression, while I do not dislike the tech, I hate how it is used.

I lost trust on SO MANY major services I have come to depend on.

Back to the year 2000 and back to my own sites I guess.

I will see you all on my personal sites, bluesky, and discord.
