I have a LOTTTA special interests! Including Mlp, Asoue, homestuck, danganronpa, Hamilton, Not For Broadcast, Warrior Cats, and more! I'm also a adult, if you feel unconfutable about it than feel free to block me for your own comfort. Regular DNI applies, but also please don't interact with me if you are proship. I hate proshipping so much, but I'll just block like a sensible person. I'm currently 22!
sevenart.ai is a website that uses ai to generate images.
Except, that’s not all it can do.
It can also overlay ai filters onto images to create the illusion that the algorithm created these images.
And its primary image source is Tumblr.
It scrapes through the site for recent images that are at least 10 days old and has some notes attached to it, as well as copying the tags to make the unsuspecting user think that the post was from a genuine user.
No image is safe. Art, photography, screenshots, you name it.
Initially I thought that these are bots that just repost images from their site as well as bastardizations of pictures across tumblr, until a user by the name of @nataliedecorsair discovered that these “bots” can also block users and restrict replies.
Not only that, but these bots do not procreate and multiply like most bots do. Or at least, they have.
The following are the list of bots that have been found on this very site. Brace yourself. It’s gonna be a long one:
The oldest ones have been created in March, started scraping in June/July, and later additions to the family have been created in July.
So, I have come to the conclusion that these accounts might be run by a combination of bot and human. Cyborg, if you will.
But it still doesn’t answer my main question:
Who is running the whole operation?
The site itself gave us zero answers to work with.
No copyright, no link to the engine where the site is being used on, except for the sign in thingy (which I did.)
I gave the site a fake email and a shitty password.
Turns out it doesn’t function like most sites that ask for an email and password.
Didn’t check the burner email, the password isn’t fully dotted and available for the whole world to see, and, and this is the important thing…
My browser didn’t detect that this was an email and password thingy.
And there was no log off feature.
This could mean two things.
Either we have a site that doesn’t have a functioning email and password database, or that we have a bunch of gullible people throwing their email and password in for people to potentially steal.
I can’t confirm or deny these facts, because, again, the site has little to work with.
The code? Generic as all hell.
Tried searching for more information about this site, like the server it’s on, or who owned the site, or something. ANYTHING.
Multiple sites pulled me in different directions. One site said it originates in Iceland. Others say its in California or Canada.
Luckily, the server it used was the same. Its powered by Cloudflare.
Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do with any of this information.
If you have any further information about this site, let me know.
Until there is a clear answer, we need to keep doing what we are doing.
Spread the word and report about these cretins.
If they want attention, then they are gonna get the worst attention.
Also, to spot these out there in the wild, pay attention to their most common usernames:
For now, it is the safest to block, report and remove any followers you gain with such username as there is a high chance for it to be one of these bots.
Rebloging with my own previous tags above again because i forgot to mention some stuff
Genuinely some of the kindest compliments I’ve ever received on a piece of my art; I had to reblog so I could thank you!!!! Means more than I can say when people type up whole paragraphs abt something I created. I’m very happy it means something to you. Thought I’d answer your question in the meantime: this was done on a 12x24 canvas, if I recall correctly! So, decently sized, but not too huge (cannot imagine the hell that would be). I spent roughly 2 weeks nonstop working on this I’d say? Put some major crunch time in due to the exhibition it was for being way closer than initially anticipated lol. And I did have to custom color mix all my colors ^^;; definitely took a huge chunk of my time…. but not quite as much as me having to redo a lot of my line art that kept getting painted over haha. Fun fact for you! The blue background is actually just the initial wash i had planned to put over everything! I planned to go back over it fully, and thicken it, but winded up liking the wash look too much so I kept it. Thank you again for being so nice
