Hello creators!
As many of you may know, some AI sites have clone accounts that are exact copies of CivitAI user accounts.
The majority of these accounts are bots that mechanically copy user information from CivitAI.
They are managed and operated by the site operator.
Sea.Art is a well-known example, but there are several others.
This is the result of a direct DISCORD conversation with the bot administrator...
😯In other words, the user pretending to be me is a bot operated directly by this site?
🤖Yes, this user is a "good faith bot" operated directly by the site.
🤔 "good faith bot" ?
🤖This prevents "malicious third parties" from impersonating your CivitAI account, reproducing models and content without permission, and obtaining unfair profits.
🤖This will prevent users impersonating you from engaging in criminal or political activities on this site, which could damage the reputation of your legitimate account on CivitAI.
😓That's very much...thank you very much.
🤖Once we have verified that you are the CivitAI user of this account, we can transfer it to you.
😨I don't need it.
🤖This account stores customer evaluation results on this site in the site currency.
🤖You can freely use the advanced services of this site.
🤖Please use it as your official account.
You have a few options:
1. Ask to Delete BOT account
2. Ask to Transferring BOT account
3. Leave BOT account alone
I think people have different opinions about unauthorized reproduction bots.
When it comes to the topic of copyright, I'm a creator on the Dark side, so I won't talk about copyright.
I chose to leave the "well-intentioned bot" as a backup destination for CIVITAI.
I'm not sure if the "well-intentioned bot" is deterring "malicious third parties," but I've decided that it won't harm me personally.
...(Maybe some ego-craving bot will come and kill ME tomorrow, but that'll be very fun!!)...
Would you fight your Robots Clone ?
Would you marry your Robots Clone?
Would you leave your Robots Clone alone?
Either way, something unimaginable just a few years ago is happening right before our eyes.
"Facing robots clone made out of me"
It's a lot of fun!
