    I’m a very small creator on most platforms but the engagement on Cara far exceeds what I experience on instagram by a long shot. The funny thing is, it’s not the likes, it’s that there are more comments and conversations and it feels so much more interactive than instagram has felt for years! I also get recommended so many amazing creators and a huge variety of art that many algorithms wouldn’t typically prioritize, I think more people should give Cara a chance before totally dismissing it. (Also unrelated but your editing is really good! I was engaged the whole way through!)

"Oh a machine did it, it shouldn't be called art." See how that argument holds up? A skilled photographer works is on a different level than a random person who picks up a camera. This is the exact same thing with Ai art. Soon, a random person writing out a prompt wouldn't get the same results a skilled prompter would get.

    Cara has said that they aren’t necessarily anti-Ai and hope to support “ethical Ai” in the future which is an oxymoron because there’s no such thing as “ethical Ai” also, glaze isn’t actually built-into their app. I thought that it would auto glaze once you posted but nope.

      can you show the text about aren't necessarily anti AI? I've read their about page and read their terms and condition, they outright saying that they don't support AI art but no mention of "ethical AI" support, the owner of Cara Jingna Zhang is a photographer that recently won a case against a plagiarism by using her photo with AI, the team comprised of people who got their work stolen by AI.
      and for the glaze thing, Cara is still in Beta and the website is funded by donation and small team, so the glaze is not working right now but they will be, that's why they redirected people to the original glaze website

    made by artists for artists is great if you are trying to be a broke starving artist who wasted their time trying to impress other broke artists, the company will soon run out of funding (I believe they are already in serious financial trouble) and it will just become another advertising sellout cash cow when another company acquires it
    it may be good to create connections with artists but that wont get you clients/leads and the job/career section will never become big enough to be meaningful unless you live in new york, london or major cities
    threads is the biggest upcoming social for artists to abuse as insta/facebook are dumping all their resources into it to try and make it popular and you carry over alot of your following from insta
