Do you recommend sharing your art on ArtStation (AI concern)

Do you recommend sharing your artwork on ArtStation? My biggest concern is if my work will be fed into some type of AI algorithm.

@Michael-Angelo-Go I keep hearing this in Reddit threads, a few picturebook illustrators are very active on social media discussing the fear of AI scraping work etc. and it's so hard keeping your focus when your worried about that.
My perspective has gone from "computers and AI are no match for humans" which I still believe. Further, I feel there is something that needs to be addressed, and that is AI is here to stay, there will always be others who steal, and what is an unknown artist to do in this space?
I don't know much about ArtStation but I do know it's been a helpful springboard for many trying to be seen. I remember wayy back when Blizzard was exploding with Warcraft and the art coming out of there was blowing my mind. ArtStation was where everyone was getting seen. Anyway, learning how to live within AI world (it's here to stay, we need to learn how to promote/sell/create within this new world) will only help us.
Hope this helps! I was listening to Gary Vaynerchuk on YouTube, talking about AI driving business. How very important it is to consider how this will affect how we exist in our fast moving world. I don't agree with everything everyone says online but the points he makes are hard to argue. I have found as I am learning the art world online it's very difficult to get out there if you aren't willing to expose yourself to theft, there has to be an element of risk.
As much as that sucks seeing this typed out, I have to remind myself ultimately we are human, and there is nothing more unappealing to me than a digitally produced work of art. It screams perfect and too Utopian. I keep focusing on what matters, and my work must be seen if I am going to get hired...
Hope this helps

@Michael-Angelo-Go use glaze or nightshade which we should all be using all the time in the first place. You should be relatively safe with that.
