Wow wow, so so so happy for you and relieved. I am so sorry this ever happened at all... and only grateful for the example you set for all of us. I wish you hadn't had to suffer so much for all of us... 💕

2/2 it's also like... analogous to training the AI in your voice and video and worrying about what it might do with it and distort it into something else given all it's been trained on before? I have some thought experiments on this!

Yes... and also, there is a risk people on the margins have of whether training larger models on their data risks them losing rhetorical and data sovereignty (particularly important for Indigenous groups, but also, e.g., for me, sacred holy texts?). 1/2

I HATE when people compare AI to the printing press, it's so disingenuous. The printing press was opposed by the elites because it put power in the hands of everyday people, and popularized a vernacular. AI does the opposite, by allowing elites to bypass artists and laborers.
