Deep dives

AI and the Cult of Intellectual Property

AI proponents are waging a holy war to control and own all creative work. They believe that AI will shape the future of art by generating content with no need for human creativity. They seek to monopolize the sum total of human thought and expression and profit from licensing access to chatbots. Their foot soldiers are those who envy artists and those who blindly follow the next money-making trend. The AI crusade has led to debates about copyright infringement and the use of AI on the blockchain. Artists are fighting back by using tools like Night Shade to poison AI models and protect their work.
