As a social media expert in today’s digital landscape, I am always on the lookout for new platforms and tools that can help businesses succeed. That’s why when I came across the recent buzz around the anti-AI social media app, Cara, I was intrigued. But what truly caught my attention was the sudden surge of half a million new users within a week. So, I decided to try it out for myself.
As I explored the app, I could see why it appeals to artists. With its ban on AI-generated images and focus on protecting human-created art, Cara offers a refreshing change from the algorithm-driven feeds of other social media platforms. And it seems like I’m not the only one who thinks so. Since its launch in January 2023, Cara has gained significant traction, with its user base growing from 40,000 to a whopping 650,000 in just one week.
But what sets Cara apart from other platforms is its creator-first mission. The app automatically detects and removes AI images, and even adds “NoAI” tags to all images as a “do not enter” sign for AI scrapers. This not only protects artists’ work from unethical AI development but also ensures that their art isn’t used for AI training without their consent.
Interestingly, Cara is entirely volunteer-run, with founder and freelance artist/photographer Jingna Zhang relying on donations to cover operating costs. However, the sudden influx of users caused the app to crash, highlighting the growing pains of its newfound popularity.
And while Cara’s surge in users may be attributed to the recent reports of Meta using Facebook and Instagram posts for AI training, it’s clear that there is a demand for a platform that prioritizes human-created art and protects it from being used without permission.
As a solution-driven expert, I couldn’t help but think of Vendasta and how it could be the perfect partner for artists and businesses looking to protect their work from unethical AI usage. With its Ochatbot and Website Engagement Tools, Vendasta offers a way to engage website visitors and capture leads without relying on invasive AI technology. The Ochatbot also provides support and assistance, making it an ideal tool for artists looking to connect with their audience and showcase their work.
But that’s not all. Vendasta’s Service and Maintenance for WordPress and WordPress Web Design Services provide businesses and artists with the necessary tools to build and maintain a professional website without the need for AI. And for those looking to sell their art online, Vendasta’s Website Express, an online store powered by WordPress and WooCommerce, and High-Availability WooCommerce Hosting offer the perfect platform for them to do so.
And for businesses looking to resell Vendasta’s 250+ products and services, there’s the option to build their own online marketplace through Vendasta. With its easy-to-use platform and expert support, Vendasta empowers businesses to sell more at scale.
As someone who believes in the power of human-created art and the need to protect it, I am impressed by Vendasta’s commitment to providing solutions that prioritize and safeguard it. So, if you’re a business or artist looking to protect your work and stand out in today’s digital world, I highly recommend exploring Vendasta and seeing how it can help you succeed.
