I think many people in this thread are intentionally missing the counterpoints because they want to miss them. There is a lot of having an opinion and working backwards happening…

When a landlord adds ridiculous or exploitative fees to a lease agreement, who do we hold accountable? Both the landlord and the capitalist system that perpetuates & amplifies their exploitative qualities.

In turn, the reality of the current generation of AI-generated art, as it exists today under capitalism, is pro-capitalist, anti-individual, and walks a very dubious legal tightrope. It takes advantage of artwork uploaded to the ‘free-and-open’ internet to turn a profit… And that's without even touching the topic of deepfakes, which comes saddled with several of its own quandaries.
