There’s a lot of “AI is theft” comments in this thread, and I’d just like to take a moment to bring up the Luddite movement at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution: the point isn’t that ‘machines are theft’, or ‘machines are just a fad’, or even ‘machines are bad’ - the point was that machines were the new and highly efficient way capital owners were undermining the security and material conditions of the working class.
Let’s not confuse problems that are created by capitalistic systems for problems created by new technologies - and maybe we can learn something about radical political action from the Luddites.

Did you get it right this time, or can expect another revision?

Hardly, but I’m not against people refining their craft so have at it.

I don’t get your meaning actually - are you saying: ‘you are in favor of theft in the name of AI’, or ‘you are agreeing that AI is theft’?

Oh, well then no, I’m not sure I agree. Doesn’t offend me though!
But that’s not because I don’t think that creators should be paid, I just happen to think they should be paid regardless of how well the work can be monetized. AI is just another tool, like the cotton gin. Useful, maybe not for art, but also not innately good or bad by itself.

Third time’s the charm.
Christ, you’re so worked up on rhetoric. Maybe, try using your own opinions, rather than those funneled into your meaty language model for you to grind up and spit out the buzzwords in some semblance of coherent thought, hmm? 🤪
