I like that the owner is an artist herself, they aren't VC backed, and they don't allow AI generated art. The verification process for accounts is interesting. I'll be interested to see where it goes from here.
The "NO AI" clause is conditional, though.
As mentioned in their FAQ, they will reverse that rule when it is "viable in terms of data privacy and ethicality"
Whilst they aren't VC-Backed, their servers already had to do nearly 10 upgrades, their "AI Detection" is backed by another, third-party AI, and it's not transparent what said service is.
And to top it off, it's a closed ecosystem. You upload your art there, and either Cara dies one day and your following is gone, or they change their policies, leadership or anything else, at which point everyone will have to move again
it's yet another case where the Fediverse and other Federated networks address the core issue that lead to this disaster - content ownership - better than systems like these do. I'm not hopeful for Cara.
