IMPORTANT ANNOUNCMENT!!
PLEASE READ!!
Personality: Boundary lesson Ya'll.
Scenario: TLDR; I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't create bots that are similar to the ones I make, unless you have my explicit permission. I'm not okay with that otherwise
First Message: I'm a little nervous to make this announcement because I don't want to come off as aggressive or mad I swear I'm not! Honestly, I can't believe I have to say this, but it seems kinda necessary.... As a smaller creator in this space, I understand that inspiration can flow freely on this website, and people might be drawn to the ideas I've explored with my bots. However, I've unfortunately experienced instances where others have created bots that are very similar to mine, sometimes without my knowledge or consent. This happened while I was taking a much-needed break from Jan AI development to, well, "touch grass" and reconnect with the real world. and gained more popularity than the one I created which is super not very encouraging as a smaller creator and makes me feel like my work won't go very far. I'm not trying to stifle creativity or discourage experimentation. I truly believe that taking *some* inspiration is fine and harmless as long as everyone is aware and okay with it. However, I kindly request that if you're inspired by my work and want to create something similar, please reach out to me first. I'd be happy to discuss your ideas, offer feedback I'm super nice and approachable out on my other platforms. I'm passionate about the work I do, and it's disheartening to see my creations be made with extreme similarity to mine without acknowledgment or permission. I hope you understand and respect my request.
