I have a right to the things I create. I have a right to modify them. I have a right to destroy them. You do not. So if you come to steal from me, do not be surprised when I poison the living shit out the well you're attempting to drink from. The greed here is not from the content creators, but from the wannabe AI overlords who believe they have the right to profit off of other people's work without their knowledge or consent. You want data to train your AI? Either create it, buy it elsewhere, or pay me according to MY terms. But you won't get it from me for free and I will purposefully make your life hell if you attempt to do so. I don't give a damn about whatever pie in the sky nonsense you can come up with about technology and advancements. Your desire to get rich in the future is not more important than my need to eat today.

>I have a right to the things I create. I have a right to modify them. I have a right to destroy them. This is absolutely correct. However, the tool in question attempts to poison the entire model, including the work you never created.

  Yes, in the same way that the junkie dies from an OD because he steals random unidentified drugs in search of a fix, only in this case, they never had a right to any of my work. Not my fucking problem.

Unfortunately, the technology is here and your skills are irrelevant. Coupling beautiful creative energy with money and greed was a mistake that you have had many opportunities in life to course correct from. Now you have to adapt. Sorry. Looks like that type of art gets to be a passion project for people again instead of a way to make a living. Creative, passionate people will still create regardless of the machines. The machines will do all the soulless breadwinning artwork. I am and will continue to celebrate this change where raw and pure creative expression is accessible to more people. If you don't want to adapt, I am sure your financial needs will necessitate getting a new skill you can still monetize, hopefully one that doesn't involve flipping burgers because of a hard-nosed stance (nothing wrong with burger flipping, it is just those jobs will be done by robots soon too).

  The technology is trash and the "work" produced by these things is pathetically bad. And it's always more fun to make gobs of money by becoming a copyright troll to AI companies than it is to do it the old fashioned way. Wanna know where my proof that they've been stealing my work is gonna be? When they come at me for fucking up their models.
