I'm the original author of deepsketch.
I am using artificial intelligence technology to transform original photos into artistic sketches. This takes a lot of time and effort, and I have expertise in this area.

I have a complete understanding of copyright issues in the original photographs.
All of the original pictures I used were carefully reviewed at pixabay.com and downloaded.
pixabay.com tells me that I can use the downloaded photo without revealing the source.

I am convinced that there is no problem with my postings and pictures. I was very surprised that steemit's official account responded amateurally without any confirmation.
Please let me know if there is any problem with my posting or pictures.
If there is no problem, I hope you can restore my post quickly.

Hello,

I have got an app on my phone that turns photos into such sketch. It just takes one click.
It does not make me an artist as all I do is using software made by someone else to transform photos taken by someone else.

All you did here is just using someone's photography and using some computer program to turn it into "artistic" expression. You are not the artist and you are not photographer.
If you used own photography, then it is a different story.


You said that you are the creator of deepsketch. It means that you are machineboy.

In order to prevent identity theft, identity deception of all types, and content theft we like to encourage users that have an online identity, post for a website or blog, are creators of art and celebrities of all notoriety to verify themselves. Verified users tend to receive a better reception from the community.

In order to confirm your authorship of the content, please make a mention about Steemit or add a hyperlink to Steemit on your website:

You can remove this mention from your website, once we confirm the authorship.

Thank you.

@steemcleaners

I'm glad you tried my deepsketch app.
As you've used it, the output I uploaded to steemit is not the result of using the app.
The results of my app are much simpler.
No software on the market can produce my work-level results.
It takes several steps to express appropriate artistic expression, color and texture, and requires manual work and time.
Do not misunderstand that using Free Photos and My Software has easily produced my results.

I do not think you have the right to judge whether my output is art or not.
I am a scientist, but I think that I am making art works with my time, effort, and skill from emotionless photographs.

However, if you want to limit the original pictures of my work to the pictures I took, I will proceed from today.
From today I will upload the pictures I took on this site and I will work on this.
https://deepsketch-net.blogspot.kr/

Please let me know if you have verified the steemit link on my site.
And, roll back my postings that you blocked.

I'm sorry but uploading photos on some random blog that you have just created is not a valid method of verification.

Please make a mention about Steemit or add a hyperlink to Steemit on your website:

http://machineboy.com/

If we don't receive the confirmation within next 24 hours we will have to conclude that your case is the example of another identity theft and photography plagiarism.

I do not understand you exactly. Ask some questions to make sure.

  1. Did you check the steemit link in my blog?
  2. Why is not blog as a means of authentication and website possible?
  3. Why do you keep showing the link on machineboy.com? What information do I have to get from this link?
  4. Do you want to be sure that I am the author of the photo? Or do I want to make sure that I am the original author of the deepsketch app?
  1. Yes I did. It doesn't confirm that your are "original author of deepsketch", as you claimed.

  2. Because it is not official website of author of deepsketch (machineboy)

  3. Because you claimed to be "original author of deepsketch". Original author of deepsketch is machineboy, therefore you must be machineboy.

  4. Both.

I think you thought of me as the author of the ipad deepsketch app. I think machine boy is the author of the ipad app. I'm not machineboy.
I am the author of the Android deepsketch app.

If I want to verify that I am the owner of this mail account, I can send mail to your email address. Please let me know if you want it.

I have an Instagram account, and I marked my steemit account on my Instagram account.

Tell me if there is an action I need to take more.
I hope the misunderstanding has been solved.

I removed all the flags by steemcleaners.

Thank you.
Could you remove the flags by adm and blacklist-a ?

I will ask for adm but can't promise.
About blacklist-a, we don't know who that is.

Thanks for your help.

But I cannot understand your words.
If adm is staff of steemit he should follow policy of steemit.

Isn't he a staff of steemit?

adm is not a person. I forwarded your request to person who controls adm.

Hello,
I've just found out that adm flags were not followed by any of Steemcleaners members. Someone else must have used it.

Dear logic,
I do not care who used adm. adm is steemit's bot and I think you steemit guys should rollback my posting.

Is awesome sketch, the design of sketch is so beautiful.
