Scratch is planning on adding a AI art generation feature onto the platform. Many people don't see the problem with this, but after reading this, those people will. Firstly, AI doesn't generate their own art. They take chunks of different art pieces that actual human beings have made from the internet and combine it to make the art piece that people asked for. AI steals people's art, and gives it to someone else to use. It doesn't belong to them! If Scratch adds this feature, every scratcher that uses it is doing something called stealing art, which was already a problem here on Scratch. Secondly, scratchers, instead of drawing, they will be using AI to make sprites and backdrops and art. Art is one of the main things of Scratch, along with programming, and the AI feature will take that away from us. Lastly, AI ruins art. Since they mash up different art pieces, it always ends up looking nothing like the art piece you asked for. Who's with me on how AI cannot be added, or it will practically tear this friendly community apart? Remix to spread awareness, just credit me for the art, or else you are just like AI.
This lil doodle on the thumbnail is my own art, unlike what AI generates
