Pro-AI Resources – No AI Search

Duolingo Language learning App
Discord went pro-GenAI:

Youtube went pro-genAI. This is different from the algorithm. They are owned by Google. They are using people’s handmade subs for hearing impaired for the Large Language Models, which has shaky legal ground. It’s currently being sued over. They are also adding to it anything to detect facial scans. Which has shown problems with racism before: (ACLU): https://www.aclu-mn.org/en/news/biased-technology-automated-discrimination-facial-recognition (Facial recognition note by Buds-and-baubles. See reblog.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjnQ-s7LW-g They are also forcing creators to look like they are GenAI, genuine people, so they can pass their GenAI users under the radar. Creators aren’t happy. Things like forced GenAI translation and weird “improvements” to art on shorts so that creators are complaining that their genuinely made content looks like it is genAI. This is where we’re at. If they can’t make creators embrace them, they will make human-created art look like GenAI.

Writing

Pro Writing Aid
Grammarly

Re: Grammar Programs

BTW, I’m firm on the idea that grammar programs are really racist. So asking about grammar programs to replace Grammarly, will always be met with, use your own brain. If you want a long linguistics reasoning for this, or my long rants about Google Docs being too Texas-based on its grammar corrections, I can give it, but you wouldn’t give a shit anyway. I know English is a fucked up language—I struggled through learning the illogical of it. I’ve said as much, but you know what you can do to get around that? Ask another human. Rely on the community around you to teach the rules instead of a machine and you’ll maybe make some friends along the way. If you think this is cruel to actually be asked to interact with the writing community, and other humans, I would think more about what stances you are taking that you are that afraid of other humans. You shouldn’t be using crutches for life and the best of grammar programs are also wrong.

Google Docs/Google– Going full on pro AI including Youtube. They are also suppressing anti-GenAI results on their search engine. (Duckduckgo isn’t, BTW because I can see it on SearXNG.)
Microsoft Word/all Microsoft products Takes from and will feed their machine.
Proton as suggested by SF Stories (see reblog) is pro AI (as the reblog from McBitchTits pointed out) They are missing a spreadsheet, but have online and offline capabilities, plus a built-in VPN. They came out with their own AI tool: https://proton.me/blog/lumo-ai But also swears never to use their user’s data: “Acknowledging these concerns and recognising that three in five (60%) workers would like to use AI despite four in five (79%) being concerned about the use of their private data for training purposes, Proton Scribe promises never to use data from users’ inboxes. The company backed up its claim by asserting that the standard end-to-end encryption makes this impossible.” (https://www.techradar.com/pro/proton-is-launching-an-ai-tool-to-help-you-write-better-emails) I’d feel wary about that, especially if they get close to GenAI collapse. (Also that stat is crazy, either you’re for it, or you’re against it, if you’re for it, you need to be on board with it using your data to feed the machine.). Proton’s CEO also supported Trump.
Notion (I feel this was like a troll).

Art

Sites

Deviant Art Not only supports AI, but put a tool in and said they are going to steal your work if you like it or not for their machine. There is an opt-out, but they made it labo[u]r intensive. You have to check it off EVERY TIME. And you can reduce, not eliminate GenAI in the results. This tips it over into being Pro-GenAI still. (last note modified per Usagi-Zakura’s reblog) Find a better site below.
Pinterest went pro-GenAI [link] making the site unusable since it was often used for inspo from the REAL WORLD and REAL images to create weddings, etc. There is a way to “opt-out”, but it’s overrun with AI images even then.
ArtStation Leaned more pro-AI. Bills itself for “portfolios”. Has no restrictions against AI in the TOS, but you can do the Deviant art thing of “check it every time if you don’t want it”. Urrgghhh No thanks. They also don’t protect from AI scrapers, which they selectively could. They do “sternly warn” that AI has no copyright protection, and don’t think it’s morally wrong to put into portfolios AI art. (Yes, snark) Oh, yes, that’ll really help. (Sarcasm).
Instagram As part of Facebook’s meta, of course they are pro-AI, there is a way to opt out, if you’re willing to give up your left kidney to get it. (i.e. they make it really difficult.)

Art Programs (Raster, and Vector)+ Suites

Adobe Products. All of them. If you HAVE to use them (Some businesses require it), save offline because there is a film of at least some privacy protections there, so if you have to sue, you can say it violates US privacy law. Remember, contracts do not circumvent US law. Adobe wants to claim they don’t feed their machine with your art, but that’s not in the legal agreements and famously the legal agreements changed. Legal agreements can supersede other claims on the website, though one could theoretically sue for predatory practices, it’s a harder case.
Corel won’t feed the machines, but still uses AI stolen from other artists. Which sucks since Corel Draw is the second best overall for vector programs. (Plus I love Painter, but I bought the offline version to avoid AI). (Canadian company)
Photopea which is an image editing program went pro GenAI according to cat-of-many-faces in comments.
Affinity (Suite program) swore to be AI-free and does Vector and Photos (I haven’t checked out their InDesign equivalent). They SOLD to Canva (so much for that promise. This is in the same realm as Novlr. A huge backstab.)

Canva then officially added GenAI to Affinity and took the three programs and combined them into one. Then made it “free”

After version 2, do not download or buy. It’s likely to use GenAI and is giving Canva profit. Right now it’s borderline because it’s a moral panic of if you want to give Canva profit.

My review for Affinity Designer is here: https://www.tumblr.com/kimyoonmiauthor/776698728716337152/affinity-designer-2weaknesses-and-strengths

Online Art Programs

Canva Takes and feeds their machine. Alternatives are Presentation software. (See LibreOffice) and Moodboard software. Not sure? Milanote doesn’t have GenAI (or the search engines are suppressing the results, which I found recently is a thing), but also no anti-AI stance. Creativit on Mac has a Moodboard function without AI (for now) No anti-AI stance, but snap.
Snappa has GenAI
Pixlr (This one hurt me personally)

3D Modeling

Sketchup went Pro-GenAI. The thing is that you can do the same thing in Blender these days with precise measurements.
Epic Games: Sketch Fab Caveat:

Autodesk has stated they are Pro-Gen AI here. It is not clear if they will use your models to feed their machine. But be on guard. They make Maya and 3Dmax. You can replace it with Blender.

Art Sharing Clouds, Website Creation, etc (Specialized, not part of a Suite.)

DropBox went Pro-AI causing massive backlash against the company.
QuarkXPress added GenAI in 2025 [Link]
Figma has GenAI

Pro GenAI Colleges and Universities

Ah, yes, we’re at this stage of late stage capitalism. DO NOT submit to these places without a clear contract and writing that you do not consent on every piece of art to feed a GenAI machine. Or simply instruct all people to not submit.

Please, please add to this list. You can send it to me anonymously. I am safe because I’m going to an anti-GenAI college with no plans to try to get a BA or a Masters. I will check your claim. They can be within the US or outside of the US.

Cal Arts is Pro GenAI. Students are protesting, but they are suppressing their free speech. This confirms Walt Disney is also Pro GenAI. It’s risky to even apply here. Scraping is next step.

Otis College of Art and Design is pushing GenAI (according to the comment section of the previous video) and I confirmed it here:

They couldn’t even bother to have pictures of real students at the college?
