Artist Launches Platform Banning AI-Generated Art
3.8
Artist Tochi recently launched TEGAKI, a new platform that bans generative AI uploads and requires proof of hand-drawn work. The site, positioned as an alternative to Pixiv, was temporarily closed after Tochi admitted using AI in the platform's development and announced a review of legal and operational practices. The creator says the goal remains a safe space for traditional artists.
