How to get AI off your Pinterest feed!
Art friends: Here's a tip for getting rid of *a lot* of the AI slop in your Pinterest feed.

⭐Go into your account settings.
⭐Click the "Refine your recommendations" tab.
⭐Click the GenAI Interests subtab.
⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING.

So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

This is Ruby from my comic Little Red Fin! 🧜

✨Think Little Red Riding Hood, but under the sea.
🦈Ruby has to deliver a magic pearl to her sick grandma, but a certain shark has other plans...
👀 Magic, action, and a plot twist ending!

My comic will be available soon through Line by Lion Publications!

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair use—the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it “meant to compete... by developing a market substitute.”

Huge.

Thomson Reuters has won the first major AI copyright case in the US. The decision has big implications for the battle between generative AI companies and rightsholders.

Really glad the issue is getting coverage and sparking some conversations. We really need to be asking ourselves if we're okay with companies like Christie's directly or tacitly endorsing and facilitating unethical practices for profit.
