In a post-scarcity solarpunk future, I could imagine some reasonable uses, but that’s not the world we’re living in yet.


AI art has already poisoned the creative environment. I commissioned an artist for my latest solarpunk novel, and they used AI without telling me. I had to scrap that illustration. Then the next person I tried to hire claimed they could do the work without AI but in fact they could not.

All that is to say, fuck generative AI and fuck capitalism!

Who do you care so much about protecting the failed and unethical law of copyright? Are you going to tell me you don't pirate media too?

Why do you care so much about defending unimaginably wealthy corporations stealing the labor of regular people?

See, now we have both misrepresented each others comments.

We don’t.

We also want to see capitalism gone as well as its copyright laws.

Likewise you weren’t misrepresented, you argued in favour of copyright.

In that case, I didn’t misinterpret you, either. You argued in favor of labor theft.

@JackGreenEarth @Veraxus
Failed and unethical as long as it's used by non-human entities like "companies" to enrich bosses who didn't create the content themselves. Just and ethical when it's used to protect actual named human authors, and only them. Big difference. Big big difference.
