Instagram, and social media as a whole, has an AI problem (https://www.androidauthority.com/best-ai-apps-3308354/). Not only is the platform tagging real photos as created by AI, but its also using users creations to train its AI models. This, for an artist, is obviously worrying. In a world where generative AI is gathering momentum, and the lines between real and artificial are quickly blurring, its becoming more difficult for real artists to ply their trade. Thats where Cara (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.caraproject.app) steps in. The platform recently saw a surge in users, and I decided to give it a whirl, too.

What is Cara and who is it for?

Founded by photographer Jingna Zhang, Cara is a relatively new social network and app that aims to protect artistic integrity. Despite its focus on creators, Cara is available for all seeking out new and exciting artists or novel work. Like a digital art gallery, you dont need to upload your own content to enjoy others. You dont even need an account if you browse online. I do love discovering new artists at markets and online, and Ive found myself scrolling through the app much like I would Instagram or Reddit.
