❌ MYTH: banning DomoAI from your server will stop the application from being used. ❌ MYTH: all the images in my Discord are being fed to GenAI, and I need to delete everything now. ✔️ TRUTH: you can disable /slash commands in your server which the bot needs to run (pic below). Banning the user ID will do nothing as it is an internal application in the App Directory, not a user or typical bot like Carl bot. Preventatives you can do: 🟢 Glaze your art 🟢 Turn off application permissions (/slash commands) by going into roles > everyone > application 🟢 Educate others on why GenAI is harmful This won't stop people from using the bot in other servers or seeking out ways to use GenAI. FYI even when it is being used, it shows as a "only you can see this" just like other bots, so you won't be able to keep track of who is using it. The “bot” is an app that needs permissions just like every other app, and will not collect data off your server, only images you directly upload into the application. You can’t exactly disable it from your Discord client. However, you can take off "Use Application Commands" permissions so that no /slash commands are available, including DomoAI command. To restate, that won't stop users from using the app in any other server and taking your art there. You can see that as an admin, I can still use the app even though the user ID is banned. (I used the image resizer prompt like ezgif, not the GenAI art prompt, then opted out.)
