My friend, the only thing keeping the rich from ending up eaten, is the government.

Studies have shown that the reliance on AI deteriorates your critical thinking skills. AI companies are bleeding money, when they go bankrupt and you no longer have access to AI, you’ll be well behind on critical thinking than the rest of us.

You're getting played. The current excited users are just beta-testers about to get kicked to the curb along with the rest of us.
Corporations are working to have all these AI generative software options for media production be fully under their control, using proprietary internal semi-automated systems based on consumer metrics.
Youtube, Netflix, Amazon, Disney, Prime, Epic etc. are engineering internal production solutions that don't require any of us. They will control production and they will continue to control distribution.
Pushing back on corporate exploitation and displacement of creatives isn't "anti-technology".

If you’re against AI labels on your software, games, movies and content, you’re anti-consumer.
I’m entitled to know what’s in the shit I buy and/or consume, and if you consider AI a good thing you should be willing to say it with your whole chest, even if it affects your bottom line.
If you’re afraid of the backlash you might receive for using AI to make your content, don’t use it.
If you believe AI is the way of the future and plan to use it in all your content, have the integrity to disclose it openly and let the free market decide what happens to it.

I’ve stayed super neutral on the ai “artist” discussion for a lot of reasons. That changes today.
Imagine listening to someone sing their heart out on a space, an original piece of work that is a story of their personal experience, and then taking that work, plugging it into suno and having the audacity to fucking post it and tag that artist in it.
Fuck you for real, go fucking fall off a cliff you fucking wanna be artist piece of garbage.
Go ahead and delete me for this one if it offends you. 🖕🏻
"I used AI to-" Then you aren't an artist.
"I used AI to-" Then you aren't a writer.
"I used AI to-" Then you aren't a coder.
"I used AI to-" Then you aren't a game dev.
"I used AI to-" Then you aren't a poet.
"I used AI to-" Then you aren't a filmmaker.
"I used AI to-" Then you aren't a teacher.

AI companies warn their tools fabricate facts, admit to gov they built them on stolen copyright data and report massive spikes in energy grid strain. When the creators explicitly tell you the product is built on theft and deception, denying it isn't progress, it's delusion.
