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!

    So don’t strengthen IP laws. Strengthen labor and antitrust laws.

    Say: “You can’t use someone’s own creative work to compete against them in the same market”

    Creators get a modicum of protection. The power-grab by the ultra-rich faces a major setback. FOSS models keep on truckin.

      So just IP laws then? Also would this not literally ban learning
