I don’t give a shit about intellectual property, I care that the artists who make the art can’t buy food because Grok and Microsoft have trained bots to remove those artists’ livelihoods with slop generation
Ignoring the theft legitimizes the idea that the training data, the models trained on the data, and output produced from those models are private property.
the bad thing they’re doing isn’t depriving anyone of the original thing, as would occur if i went to someone’s house and physically stole their painting.
if copying isn’t theft when I copy stuff, it’s not theft when somebody we don’t like does it either.

In a bourgeois context it’s a matter of property, in a post capitalist context it’s a matter of consent
