The public relies on the media for trustworthy, quality journalism, but now that work is being stolen for AI that is unreliable and can be used to spread misinformation.

Hey @OpenAI pay the f*** up!

Big Tech is using the art, music and work of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people to train AI algorithms, with no respect for cultural protocols or its spiritual and historic significance.

What happens to the performing arts when we leave the performance to a machine that has never felt a human emotion?

Award winning journalist @quentindempster.bsky.social on the importance of freelance journalists in our media landscape and the threat of AI.
Media companies need to PAY UP and stop making deals with AI companies that don't include consent and compensation for media workers.

Journalists, writers and reporters are very concerned about AI companies stealing their work without consent or compensation and then churning it into content that doesn't serve the public interest, can't be trusted and can be used to create misinformation. #PayUp!

The recent commitment to no text and data mining exceptions for AI companies from the federal government is a good start — but it's just a start. We still need big tech companies to #PayUp for the data they have already used to train their AI algorithms.
