I can't believe I had to do this...

But in short, a user asked to use one of my works as "their muse" for an oil painting piece being done for another client. Their Gallery was basically empty and they only had been on DA for just shy of week. Told them that I was not comfortable with them using my work for another client, and if they were merely filtering it through an AI as a starting image, that I was definitely not okay with it. Response acted as if I said yes they could use it, told them no, they wouldn't be.
I sent a help ticket, blocked them, which on DA means they cannot see any of your works or contact you, but I also decided to throw all my art on DA into storage and restrict guest access to my profile here on FA.
I am very annoyed to say the least that DA has opened up this hell scape that artists now have to deal with that someone could, without your permission, just take your art and run through it an AI and sell it off to another client.
Thanks so much AI Tech Bros. /s

Something tells me FA is going to see a steady increase in new members for a while as people start to see this place as a Safe Haven from having to deal with AI artwork.
Some people may think the rules here about AI artwork are a bit harsh, but I see them as necessary, and also as a safeguard against it.
What just happened to you is proof of why the rules are necessary.
Like that is also the more worrying part of this.
Like AI just takes all the passion and etc out of it. You don't learn any of the skills or how to tell what is actually good and what is just knock off after knock off.
It is also far more nuanced and complex than just that, but Stability AI left copyright music out of its music AI, Dance Diffusion, because of its potential for overfitting and perfect memory, so they didn't do that when they initially built their visual AI.
Glad that you did what you did.
