Opt in and opt out for allowing scratch to use you to train AI

lnfinite5

This is what they’ll be using the AI for. I also left a comment on that project explaining why this is a bad idea. Please watermark your projects!!!

you guys realize this AI Assistant makes it easier to steal peoples code and projects without asking them or having to give credit? How ya gonna fix that Scratch team??? Do you just gotta hope that people will be nice enough??? Here's a lesson NOT EVERYONE IS THAT NICE!!!

While it does give the original owner of a project, so thankfully you can credit them, I only imagine it being on the wrong hands and that person stealing them, now if only if there was a way to opt out, the mods are gonna have a really hard time with this, considering the license new works as a Custom Creative Commons license without explicitly saying it in the terms of service (I won't dwell on it too much.)

Would opting out even really do anything? The AI is still learning anyway, and opting out would even hurt the environment more because the clanker has to “think” harder because it has less data, therefore using up more water.
Yeah, but people also don't want their art/code stolen.

Only the whole moderation team (or the whole scratch team from the looks of it) seems to have a say on this, since initially they were not aware about this update which still makes a huge impact of it itself. The mods are aware about it and are even leaning towards this suggestion. I'm not a business person, but having optimization from every part of your team and their concerns makes customers, it makes your business more trustworthy. This is also something missing from AI companies and big tech in particular, and why other more advanced coding websites for games (such as ones with Steam) are trusted by people because they care for the community. Considering Scratch is more of a non-profit organization and many schools trust it more than that one lego program, I'm pretty sure some schools will like to have this feature too to prevent plagiarism.

I don’t think so, that would be a total break in privacy

Support, first off they didn't ask anyone for consent for this which actually violates COPPA and secondly no one wants AI on scratch unless if it's a ChatGPT port

The only time I saw it was for fun in the forums, nothing serious. Second of all for the ChatGPT thing, that will violate most of school policy-
so No-
Third of all: you wanna be Vegeta and you can't be Vegeta when you know I'm Vegeta
Speaking of the school thing, shouldn't schools also have this option when making classes? School accounts do exist just so you know but I wonder if that's a good option.

Y’know… this will be scratch breaking the laws in the EU if nothing changes before implemented

Scratch is losing a lotta people because of this.

Personally i might leave if they don't make it opt out able. Just because they aren't training ai right now doesn't mean they wont in the future. i don't post lots of art myself but i still want to help the people who do. We love you scratch team but please, don't do this. What about the unsuspecting “Kids” that this platform is supposed to be for? What about kids who just have to use this for coding purposes in classes and what not? We love scratch but this is forcing a lot of our favorite scratchers to stop posting. Like Incognito orange for example. SCRATCH TEAM PLEASE READ THIS. This is not ok.

(Contains slight misinformation) they are using our code, not our art.

If it does, how will Scratch know where you are? I always lie on my location and if Scratch proves it wrong, that would be a problem because HOW did they know?

It wouldn’t be scratch who has to locate you but the EU they would be the ones banning scratch. Scratch would never ban itself in certain countries.

ST has already seen this and it seems like they are in support of it. But they can’t really do much the Board of Directors and SF could probably do more.
