A question: Are images posted to your Pinterest-like app used for AI training?

They're not used to train any generative-AI model. We may try to train some models to help with moderation, like nsfw classifiers, or a model that tries to detect AI-generated images automatically. This won't happen soon and, if/when it will happen, we'll make sure to ask users for permission.

Thanks for the transparency. Someone just told me to the fact (pls correct if wrong) that the developer behind Currents is known for AI and data farming projects. It would be good for Currents to clarify exactly how data is going to be used, to prevent misunderstandings. Thanks so much!

Are you planning to add some user documentation soon? (fingers crossed) I am a wee bit confused about the interface. 🤞🏽

Perhaps I'm mistaken about Currents being like Pinterest? Or at least how I use Pinterest (I don't upload images to Pinterest, but save images that I find online).

Yes, it's like Pinterest! You can save images from feeds or from any website. That view is from the personal feed, which is empty because you didn't save anything yet, so there can't be a personalized feed. Clicking on the "Explore the general feed" you'll be able to save images from it.

I have also installed the Currents browser extension (I'm using Chrome), but it seems to just be a link to my Currents account e.g. I can't use it to save any images. Or am I using it incorrectly?
