If I build a wheelchair ramp out of the flesh and bones of orphans I’m still not a very good person.

Comparing copyright, a bullshit concept that was designed only to protect the rich, to building with "the flesh and bones of orphans" is so extreme that it's not even worth arguing about.

    Being pro-AI is the same as being pro-capitalist, and thus pro-orphan crushing machine.

    Having your work stolen so that a soulless faceless corporate entity can charge teenagers to recreate it at will and pretend they have any talent or capability whatsoever is pretty anti-proletariat.

    You know you can use AI yourself too right? There's no need to be anti-AI when you can be anti-OpenAI/Anthropic/Google/etc.

    You're projecting human faults to AI. Pretending to be an artist when you're just a prompter is a human fault. And there are plenty other applications which burn more electricity than a few AI prompts per day burn. "Stealing" artists' works doesn't matter because intellectual property is a meaningless concept.
