AI says we’re unoriginal

Since the oracle purchase we have dealt with constant demonetizations for “unoriginal content” despite writing, recording, animating, and editing every single piece of content on this page ourselves. Now, they’ve decided to fully remove us from the creator rewards program which is super upsetting since we’ve spent the better part of 2 years building up our community here to over 500,000 of yall.

We’ve fought these in the past, but is seems to be a systemic issue as we’ve seen other animators dealing with the same exact problem this month (shoutout @Clover 🍀🐮 ). It looks like Oracle is using their incredible new AI to remove actual artists from this platform in one clean swipe.

Nothing like AI deciding what’s original

Catch us on literally any other platform ✌️

3/28 Edited to

... Read moreAs a fellow creator navigating the evolving landscape of AI content moderation, I can deeply relate to the frustration of being labeled 'unoriginal' despite genuine, hard work in producing unique content. The integration of AI in platforms like Oracle aims to streamline enforcement but often results in overreach, affecting many honest creators, especially animators who rely heavily on their originality. In my experience, maintaining clear documentation of your creative process—such as sketches, drafts, and timestamps—can be valuable when appealing demonetizations or removals. It not only demonstrates effort but also substantiates claims of originality against automated systems. Moreover, community solidarity plays a crucial role. Connecting with other affected creators, like @Clover mentioned in your post, helps to raise awareness about these systemic challenges. Collaboratively, creators can advocate for transparent AI guidelines and request human reviews in disputed cases. Lastly, diversifying your platform presence is a wise strategy. Since the article suggests moving to other platforms, it’s important to build audiences on multiple channels to mitigate the risk of policy changes on any single platform. This multi-platform approach also opens up additional monetization opportunities and reduces the impact of sudden demonetization. Ultimately, while AI can assist in managing vast online content, it lacks the nuance to fully appreciate human creativity, especially in animation where style and originality are paramount. Continuing to share insights and experiences within the creator community is vital to pushing for fairer AI policies that protect authentic artistic voices.

The title image features the bold white text "Why you DON'T Need AI" with a black outline, superimposed over a vibrant green and white variegated potted plant.
A text-based image on a pink striped background explains that AI is harmful to the environment, low-income communities, and intellectual thought, and steals from artists. It suggests seeking information from universities and the UN.
The word "Art:" is displayed over a wall adorned with multiple framed classical paintings. The text advises learning art skills or commissioning artists instead of using AI to generate art.
Stop using AI‼️
AI is something that we’ve lived without for so long. Do we really need to rely on it now? John Nosta from Psychology Today writes that the use of generative AI leads to the lack of “engaging deeply with the ideas generated”, causing simple acceptance of what we are told by the AI bot, which, o

The image displays a TikTok post featuring a motivational caption with numerous hashtags, posted on 06/27/2025. A yellow text overlay reads 'Like wtf?!?!'. Below, TikTok's content policy explains why 'Unoriginal, low-quality, and QR code content' is ineligible for recommendation, defining unoriginal content as copied or unedited, and low-quality content as very short videos, static images, or GIFs. A small profile picture with 'Keep going!! Don't give up!' is also visible.

TikTok Trash 😆
I used TikTok's own internal creative tools to build a post, and their automated system immediately flagged it as "unoriginal and low-quality". It’s almost comedic—the platform is effectively calling its own features "trash". #tiktok #fyp #Lemon8
