I am shocked at the gall of DA's latest actions regarding AI. I take pictures in SL, I don't claim to be some great illustrator so I don't feel as personally effected as many other artists on this platform who work with more traditional or labor intensive digital mediums. However, I can still feel that what has happened and how we have been treated is wrong. Even as the infrequent contributor that I am, I still post in fear of the arbitrary censorship imposed by DA. I've seen truly graphic, disturbing stuff on this site that gets permitted, yet on the flip side it feels like if a contributor's work happens to attract the attention of a moderator who doesn't like it, they launch a virtual crusade to censor or remove the artist. I have seen these crusades then spread so that any other contributors who associate with that artists also stand at risk. Even posting this makes me nervous. Thankfully this haphazard irreprehensible moderation seams to have throttled back in recent years, but
