#artgram

Up to 12.6 million fanworks were contained in the dataset. DMCAs have been filed against Hugging Face, the platform storing the dataset, to prevent further usage of their users’ works. Although the dataset is no longer accessible, I’m floored at the amount of creatives who were stolen from.

One writer, Dean (dicklessthewonderclown on AO3), shared that 42 out of 48 of his works were scraped. He also covered the situation on TikTok, including a summary of what happened, who was affected by the scrape, and how to figure out if you were affected as well.

AO3 wasn’t the only creative platform that’s been hit with such a massive scrape, either; PaperDemon, Character Hub, Artfol, Artgram, Paintberri, and Itaku were affected as well.

[image ID: two screenshots of an article from paperdemon. the first screenshot reads:

"If you posted art or writing to PaperDemon.com or any of the below art and writing sites, your art and writing has most likely been scraped and publicly listed as an AI data set. Immediate action is requested to prevent unauthorized use of your copyrighted content for the purposes of AI model training or other unknown uses."

below that is a list of websites with hyperlinks to them: PaperDemon, Character Hub, PaintBerri, Artfol, Archive of our Own, Artgram, Itaku.

"(See References below for a list of these sites which have requested takedowns)"

the second screenshot reads:

"A few days ago, we announced (this line includes a hyperlink to another article.) that we'd recieved word that a person known on the HuggingFace website as nyuuzyou has done an unauthorized scrape of artwork and writing from the paperdemon.com website, along with many other art sites, and published the creations on the AI dataset website called HuggingFace. These datasets are intended to be used to train AI models. PaperDemon and the other art sites listed above did not authorize the publishing of the content."

"We've filed a DMCA takedown request for both the PaperDemon art dataset and PaperDemon writing dataset. As of this document's publishing at Apr 18, 2025 12:10pm, the writing repo is temporarily frozen but the art repo is still public.

Nyuuzyou has not agreed with our request to take down the entire repo. At this time, nyuuzyou is only complying with taking down art from the person who owns the copyright. That means each of you will need to request a takedown. Nyuuzyou requires that you provide a list of links to the artwork/writing before they will comply with the takedown." end ID.]

in the article here, there's more information including info on how to request to take down work from huggingface as well as the other websites mentioned. to paraphrase a member from the discord, however, be wary when visiting the huggingface website or downloading content from it as it hasnt been vetted for viruses/malware/trojan/etc. i have not personally visited myself as i dont use these websites (minus ao3 which im inactive on) but take precaution when doing so.

Notita: He aquí el escrito chueco que quise hacer para este dibujito chueco.

"Carrusel"

Sofocante,

sofocante,

sofocante

entre luces,

el bullicio

y el cambio constante.

Sofocante,

en un mar de gente

que avanza

y avanza sin esperarte;

que avanza

dejándote caer

sobre piedras

que abren la piel

y arde, arde, arde.

Arde en las lágrimas

que caen y caen,

escociendo en la herida

eternamente abierta

que, sin tiempo a sanar,

se queda, se queda,

se queda abierta

sangrando cansada,

escondida en la

noche de lágrimas,

oscura, oscura y solitaria

para mantener en el día

una sonrisa

que pesa y pesa

porque no hay tiempo

para la espera.

Sofocante,

sofocante,

sofocante,

un camino desigual

que piedad no tiene;

y las voces,

se encargan de recordar

que en cada paso

te quedas atrás,

atrás, atrás

en el cansancio de un ritmo

que desgasta y desgasta,

desgasta sin poder escapar...

Un carrusel

del que no se puede bajar,

que gira y gira,

gira con gran velocidad,

revolviendo el estómago

y arrebatando el hambre,

el sueño sin nunca parar.

El carrusel de la vida,

que nunca termina

hasta que el tiempo

se agota y toca bajar,

despojando de todo

y todo se va,

dejando el fantasma

de una herida,

de una vida

no vivida

por la prisa,

por la prisa,

por la prisa

de querer vivirla.
