AI-generated content
Our primary focus at Lyrak is to empower and support the passionate and dedicated creators who pour their heart and soul into their craft.
With so much AI-generated content out there, it can be frustrating for authentic creators to see their work overlooked. That's why we're committed to putting the work of human creators first.
Imagine a photographer who wakes up early, determined to capture the perfect sunrise at Tower Bridge in London. He leaves his warm bed, heading out into the unpredictable weather, hoping for clear skies and a breathtaking view. However, when he arrives, he’s disappointed to find thick clouds hiding the sun, making it impossible to get the shot he wanted. With a heavy heart, he packs up his gear and heads back home, knowing that the weather didn't cooperate with his plans. Despite this setback, he doesn't let it crush his spirit. The next morning, he wakes up with renewed enthusiasm and determination, ready to chase his dream once more.
This is the primary user we serve – the authentic creator who pours their heart and soul into their work, even in the face of challenges and disappointments.
When we consider the level of dedication, passion, and effort that authentic creators put into their work, it becomes clear that AI-generated content shouldn't be given the same priority or recognition.
On the other hand, AI-generated content, while potentially impressive from a technical standpoint, lacks the human touch, the creative spark, and the genuine emotion that comes from an individual investing their passion, dedication, and personal experience into their craft.
To address this issue and stay true to our core values, we have decided to take a proactive approach in managing AI-related content on our platform:
AI-generated content will not be featured on our discover page: We believe that our discover page should be a space that highlights the best work from our community of real creators. By not promoting AI-related content in this section, we aim to give more exposure to the talented individuals who deserve recognition for their original work.
Clear labelling of AI-generated content: Soon, we will require users to clearly mark posts that have been created with the assistance of AI. This transparency will allow our community to make informed decisions about the content they engage with and support.
Optional AI content feed: We understand that some users may be interested in exploring AI-generated content. To keep things clear, we will create a dedicated feed for AI-related posts. Users will have the option to hide this feed if they prefer not to see AI content.
User control over AI content: We will be introducing a new feature that allows users to hide all AI-generated content from their feeds. This empowers our community to curate their experience on Lyrak and focus on the content that matters most to them.
Metadata priority: It's easier to tell the difference between AI-generated images and authentic images when you add images with metadata. So, we'll give priority to images uploaded with metadata.
By implementing these measures, we aim to make our platform a fair and helpful place for photographers, artists, and other creators. We believe that creators' unique perspectives, skills, and creativity are what make our platform truly special, and we are committed to helping creators thrive and build successful careers on our platform.
