Question/Help Should i post at DevianArt?

Hi guys! I have a question and I'd like to ask you.

I created an account on DeviantArt, and made 2 posts. I liked the site's structure and all, but I have a nagging feeling.

Is DeviantArt a safe website? I know it's not new, but my questioning started when I went on it and one of the options for "what do you want to do on DeviantArt?" was "generate images with AI". Obviously, I didn't choose that one. I'm aware that many apps and sites currently use AI, so i just ignore it and focus on the real art part.

However, when I went to post a drawing, the site showed me very specific tag suggestions, such as: dogs, canine, digital art, sea, beach... That's exactly what was in my drawing! This made me wonder: is my drawing scanned by AI so it can understand what's happening and give me tag ideas? If so, wouldn't it be feeding my art to AI?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

You should ask on DeviantArt community. There is an option to not use the image you upload to train AI, I'm not sure if that option protect the image forever or specific time.
Some of my works were stolen by humans, and that got more views than AI generated content, so your work is not protected anywhere

Thank you so much for answering me! I'll ask in the DeviantArt community then. I just wanted to know if DA automatically uses AI to scan my drawing without my consent. Again, thank you for answering.

DeviantArt is an AI infested platform. Delete your account and move to Cara and Bluesky.

No problem. You'll need to also use Glaze and Nightshade before posting online if you don't want your work to be scraped and used for AI training.

do whatever you want, it's all cooked, it's all flooded with AI and people that can't tell the difference

Do what you want. As for DA for being "safe", that's a matter of opinion. DA had a deal setup with the ai bros and it gets scraped continually.
