“I believe that the measure of success in the kingdom of God is obedience, I want my life to reflect obedience to Christ and to live in obedience to Him. I think that Jesus is worth it. He’s worth everything.”
- John Chau

FaithI am Christian. I really started seeking after God in June 2020, saved in June 2021, and baptized in August 2022.To be more specific I’m a theologically conservative Evangelical (nondenominational), which is all under the umbrella of Protestantism.I affirm the Danvers Statement and Nashville Statement as it relates to gender and sexuality.On secondary issues, I don't make theological claims for things I don't fully understand (and there’s a lot idk). Also, I follow the same rule of thumb as R.C. Sproul:

“My rule of thumb: We are to study to try to discern a difference between principle and custom. But if after having studied we can’t discern, I would rather treat something that may be a first-century custom as an eternal principle than risk being guilty of taking an eternal principle of God and treating it as a first-century custom.”
- R.C. Sproul, “The Applicability of God’s Word”

Peeps from Calvary Chapel, South Baptist Convention, and other theologically conservative Evangelical peeps have been huge influences to me in my walk with God, especially in areas like apologetics and creative worship.

AI Art & Art TheftAI is artificial intelligence. It is a tool that can be used in construction and destructive ways. This is specifically focused on the ways it is used destructively (art theft). This is not 100% going to stop thieves from taking your art but it will potentially make it harder.

The Issue Most Artist Have With AI Art

Watermarking

Opt Out or restrict access for AI training

AI Poisoning / Image CloakingEffects like blurring, noise, and other distortions also make it difficult for AI to use images for training. This is why CAPTCHA verifications use somewhat distorted images.

Art sites that ban (or restrict) the posting of AI art

Although a lot of sites are using people’s content and information on their platform for AI training, a lot of them like Tumblr and Canva make opting out extremely easy. It’s usually somewhere in the settings related to privacy.

If you would like to delete your account, but still want to save your data, especially art you posted, follow the video instructions below:

Follow this guide to restrict how much information search engines and crawlers can use from your Carrd.

I would choose either “Off” or “Text Only,” but here is a description of each selection.

Another way that may or may not work is adding the ai.txt from Spawning into robot.txt on Carrd since they act somewhat similar.

You can also sign up on Have I Been Trained? and put your domain in their system.

Click individual images to prevent people from easily copying & downloading images off of your Carrd.

You can also add code to your Carrd to make it even more difficult.
