Wow, can't wait to know what you think!

I've been looking for a Pinterest replacement for a while now. Tired of the ads, promoted Pins, AI-generated images, decreasing quality of search results. Just read about image clipper @currents.is in @tynanpurdy.com 's blog on @pckt.blog. Intrigued! Looking forward to trying.

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!

I'm the developer behind Currents. I've worked in the AI field, and I still do to some extent. I have to say AI is a very broad field, and I don't consider anything AI-related intrinsically bad. Also, I've never done any data farming project, so that person is defaming me.

I'm basing the whole project on transparency, basically building it in public, so I'll make sure to always inform users about how their data is used. And, as I said, I'll ask for permission before using any images on Currents to train moderation classifiers.
