Yeah, no. I understand the problems with intellectual property and copyright. Its not an issue at the core of my politics but I’m at least somewhat aware of it. That’s not why people like me are pissed off over AI. We’re justifiably disgusted that people are pressing a button to create amalgamations of other people’s work. Work that, unlike whatever an LLM spits out, has had time, effort and humanity put into it. These people give a middle finger to anyone who creates, helping mega-corps kill the planet while they do it, and have the gall to consider the slop “art”.

You’re smoking some hard shit if you’re coming into a leftist space defending the fascist project that is generative AI lmao

EDIT: It would appear OP is right about one thing: this is a pro-AI instance. Thankfully, I can filter out this “progressive” instance so that it’s fascist apologist inhabitants can rot their brains in peace. Have fun with your chatbot girlfriends lmao

So I’m not against what you’re saying (and maybe I’m taking the bate here) but are you implying anarchy is the only way to be free? If so, why use the term “leftist” at all, as it encompasses many ideologies, of which anarchism is one?
