I mean, to be fair genAI is just plagiarism with extra steps so it’s no different from them issuing takedowns for shitty mobile games ripping off Frozen characters. Indie studios are actively harmed by GenAI as well, given that if their content gets fed into MidJourney they don’t have the resources to battle in court. So I think if GenAI faces more scrutiny as a whole and laws are put in place to stop people profiting off material generated on copyrighted material, the only people harmed are those pumping out AI slop to make a quick buck - which I’m happy with

Like to be clear I don’t like Disney and I have a lot of grievances with copyright laws at large. But a broken clock’s right twice a day and I think they’re based for doing this

I hate Disney and their unhinged copyright policies but I hate generative AI just a bit more, so I guess the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

That image feels like a shitpost and god do I wish it were a shitpost. Worst timeline fr

It should be illegal for bots to ignore robots.txt tbh, like fuck AI bros in general but the ones who go out of their way to scrape sites that make it clear they don’t want to be scraped… Hope their shitty LLMs get poisoned beyond saving. And that it costs them a fortune in electricity bills. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
