truly liberal about generative AI - those tools created by training the AI with all the text, images and music the tech bros behind genAI could steal. Intellectual property they were well aware they were stealing, and which they're fighting to be able to continue exploiting. That theft is continuing, with AI companies' bots scraping some sites like Wikipedia many times a day, putting the existence of a lot of sites at risk because their constant scraping adds to the cost of operating sites. ( See
) AI summaries from search engines then steal traffic from the sites that info was taken from, while AI-created videos take attention from real human work.NEW: AI bots caused Wikipedia's bandwidth costs to increase by 50 percent last year, and are still growing exponentially. I wrote about its plan to fight back — and whether it will be enough. www.platformer.news/wikipedia-ai...

You reward real intelligence and talent when you post videos made by humans, not AI.
You give a thumbs up to the tech bros and their theft of the world's knowledge and culture when you post AI slop. Even if you think the ideas in it are clever, those ideas might've been suggested by a chatbot. Someone who'll stoop to using AI for art or music is likely to turn to AI for ideas, too. Especially when they're asking for donations for the AI slop they churn out.
Please support human thought and creativity and talent. Not AI and the tech bros behind it.
