Good news! e6AI is being shutdown! Like I expected, the bullying of BadDragon and their owner to get rid of it worked out. The staff never wanted this site in the first place, and from what it sounds like were basically forced to do it as a compromise anyways. Bullying millionaires & corpos works

Good morning, everyone.

As the news post states, Dragonfruit Ventures had made the decision to discontinue the e6ai project.
That site will be put into read-only mode shortly, and will be shut down entirely later this month.

Thank you to everyone who provided their opinions on and feedback on this situation.
Your voices have been heard.

E621 continues to disallow AI-generated content.
We had never created or trained any AI models on content uploaded to e621, and will continue to put effort into combatting the scraping effort of various bots run by others.

We will be able to start taking questions and provide more statements in the days to come.

Regards,
~ Cinder3 November Hello everyone! We have a very important announcement for you all.

Several years ago we saw the advent of Generative AI that was able to create images that began propagating on the internet, these images inevitably were also uploaded onto e621. Very early on it became clear that the community preferred that e621 only host art made by actual human hands. At the time, given the novelty of the tools and the lack of community opinion surrounding Generative AI, we thought that it was a good idea to give Generative AI art its own site.

We did this quietly as we didn’t wish to promote Generative AI, and at no point did we advertise e6ai directly on e621. If someone tried to upload Generative AI images to e621, we would remove it, and redirect them to post on e6Ai instead if they wished.

To be completely clear, e6ai never had any capability to generate images, it was simply a place for people to upload images, like many other places on the internet.

We’ve heard from the community and we’ll no longer be continuing the e6ai project, and we will continue to disallow AI Generated art on e621. We’d like to remind the community that we have no control over what any company like Anthropic, OpenAI, Google or any individuals do to train their AI models. We do what we can to discourage it, but there is no way to confirm whether others are abiding by our Terms of Use.

If there’s to be any real change in what information AI is allowed to use in training, it will need to be regulated at some level. We encourage everyone to reach out to their representatives in the government where they live. For the US this would be your Representatives in Congress and your Senators, see this website for more information: https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member
