Reminder that the whole IP issue with AI training is a psyop aimed at controlling discourse so it’s entirely about ownership of property and who has claimed what licensing rights over hosted material, and never about labor or the consequences of an infinite lie machine that can churn out mountains of slop for next to nothing.
The end result of copyright law being overextended yet again won’t be “AI slop generators stop existing” because that’s not possible at this point when something like Flux can run on decade old GPUs and is widely available, it will be some techbros pay Disney a licensing fee to have their slop generator rubber stamped as a special good boy who respects corporate hegemony, and open source models get banned for not respecting the holy ownership of property enough. And then the case gets closed and AI slop generators with the special corporate good boy seal of approval on it get to replace workers and pour out slop to anyone who pays while the media claps and says how nice it is that property is being respected.
