[QUOTE="darjr, post: 8866777, member: 52905"] Kickstarter banned an AI art project and also released a statement about AI art and their platform. [ATTACH type="full" width="532px" alt="Hello, This is a message from Kickstarter's Trust and Safety Team. We're writing to let you know that a project you recently backed, Unstable Diffusion: Unrestricted Al Art Powered by the Crowd (Suspended), has been suspended. As a result, your $30.00 pledge has been automatically canceled and you will not be charged. No further action is needed. We take the integrity of the Kickstarter system very seriously. We only suspend projects when we find strong evidence that they are misrepresenting themselves or otherwise violating the letter or spirit of Kickstarter's rules. We may also suspend projects when they are the subject of an unresolved intellectual property dispute and/or valid intellectual property claim. As a policy, we do not offer comment on project suspensions beyond what is stated in this message. We know this isn't ideal. But we do sincerely hope to see you again soon, backing one or more of the amazing projects that do cross the finish line, without a hitch, each and every day. Best wishes, Kickstarter Trust and Safety's Trust and Safety Team.
