Patreon is considering making their own AI or banning it completely. Fill out and share this survey to show them we are not okay with exploitation. There is also a change to win 100$ for filling this out patreon.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9s…

AI is not just another tool. A tool doesn't scrape anyone else's IP to function, it doesn't do any of the work for you or impart any knowledge on how to be an artist. genAI is just stolen talent and intelligence for those who refuse to develop any of their own.

Put aside everything else (& there’s a lot of nonsense “else”), I find it highly gratifying that AI companies & their minions argue that “opt-outs” are a poor solution that ignores certain realities. Remember that next time they argue in favor of opt-outs! @ashleynbelanger

Australians - please tell your government not to legalise IP theft to benefit AI companies. theguardian.com/technology/202…

People say, “if you’re not using AI to write, you’ll be left behind!” meanwhile study after study has shown severe and immediate cognitive decline in those who use it regularly. I’m still capable of reading and have a functioning brain, so who’s really being left behind here?

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different. A study by a trio of design scholars shows tech co's have had to push AI on its users with a variety of intrusive tactics. 1/x

Huge new study finds: people think AI will worsen almost everything they care about. By a 3-to-1 margin, they want more regulation. And they deeply distrust the big AI labs. Feels like we’re approaching a social tipping point. How long until the backlash against Big AI begins?

If you want to understand who the EU’s Code of Practice on AI benefits, consider: - It is supported by OpenAI - It is rejected by pretty much every European organization that represents artists, writers, musicians etc. It legalizes IP theft to train AI models; it will allow AI…

The EU AI Code of Practice is trash. After 3 drafts of this document getting progressively worse, the CoP authors refused to implement the most basic requirements. All organizations representing creatives & artists that were previously helping draft it came out condemning it.

Remember: in the US, fair use is ALWAYS a case-by-case determination NO single case or opinion will control the question of AI & copyright Anyone acting otherwise today is proving their ignorance of US copyright law
