The Scratch Team has just recently updated their Terms of Service yesterday, letting you know they now have full permission to use your content to train AI models.


Knowing that the Scratch Team were supposedly “responsible” adults, I thought they would recognize the real-world issues within that technology.

And ahhhhh well, shoot, just when we all thought they scrapped it, they kind of contradicted themselves by releasing this blog here, which is just as bad as I expected it to be.

It's honestly cute how they had the audacity to call artificial intelligence a "creative tool" when it has already been proven it is NOT a tool. It just does what you tell it to do; the same way you order a sandwich at a Subway restaurant, and you don't do anything.

I mean, come on. It's called artificial for a reason. There really shouldn't be an explanation on how this will detrimentally undermine natural creative mediums.

And having free AI access to children is also a lot scarier. This will only be going to discourage them from creating any real artwork because they're going to grow up using this technology to produce slop (another issue within the technology, too) and they'll probably end up complaining about how art is "too hard" or "takes too much time" as they get older.

That is so freaking sad.

I also have a feeling they also got AI to write out this blog post for them. I can tell by the word choices and patterns they use.

As you can tell, this is not looking good. We have issues where people abuse this technology to spit out slop in terms of videos, writing, images, and even coding because of how nonsensical it feels.

Not gonna rephrase on how to truly use AI responsibly because I already said it on my other article post about Microsoft.


I'm quite proud to be born in the mid 2000s because when I was in elementary school, I loved to draw and color. I made a really good roadrunner drawing from Loony Tunes in 4th grade and my teacher was impressed. Those were the great moments of my life.

What's also impressive is how AI was only roughly 4 years old since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022, and it caused this much damage to the online world.


Well, time to utilize more natural intelligence than artificial intelligence.

Really shows how they love AI this much; they still believe it's a "foundational" technology and it positively impacts the world.

I need @Danyo_ to send an assassin to teach them a lesson or something.

I was looking for good video editors other than Clipchamp as a Windows alternative to VN for my iOS devices and my Mac, and I came across this.

I was initially interested, until I realized really basic features, even 60 FPS, were locked behind a paywall.

Rare W of Microsoft.

Watermarks is something I always do and encourage. Even if I post some AI images here before, I do that very rarely.

This is a positive change to our society. Real human-made works should present as it always was.
