Same for etsy pattern makers saying they only use ai for the frame. i don't believe you.
Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

Film cameras about to be so back.
The UK government wants iPhones and Android devices to be updated to block the ability to display or take nude photos unless verified as an adult.
Maybe this explains why Apple is hesitant to add age verification at the OS level if it opens the door to requests like these.

One the one hand, you have a large and successful creative sector worth billions. On the other, the vague promise of growth offered by pod people intent on cooking the planet so you can make porn with Bagpuss and Zippy from Rainbow. It's a tough choice, I get it.

looool remember that grossly biased and leading consultation doc on AI and copyright?
The heavily leaned-on preferred Govt option got 3% of the votes.

🚨 The UK government just published a breakdown of the responses to its consultation on AI & copyright:
- 95% of respondents want AI companies to pay for their training data (made up of 88% saying strengthen copyright law, & 7% saying leave it as is)

This: liberal constitutional orders are precarious. And they certainly are not inevitable.
💯, agree. I think for lots of people who have grown up in relatively safe and supportive environments, they can be fooled into thinking that these are the natural conditions of the human species. They may not understand how much work it takes to preserve those conditions where people can thrive.
