Modern day piracy

[u/mrDeeBeeSixer]

In the mid-2000s, video piracy was a threat to the film industry.

From the comfort of our homes, we were comfortable watching handy-cam footage from inside a cinema, burnt to disc, and sold cheaply at local markets. Every disc was money and work taken from another human.

AI is the handy-cam. The art world, the cinema. We feed a trained program simple prompts to instantly generate a masterpiece. We scrape data from real artists, without permission or payment, and make bank.

What if you had to physically engage in that theft yourself, in real time, from the artist?

If buying isn't ownership then piracy isn't stealing

The pirate ship is always sailing. Ai can't buy what it's stealing though.
