All the poor artists and creators on Twitter.
Prior to today, you could opt out of having your posts used for AI / generative training. The new amended terms and conditions have made it impossible to do so.
Will this artist exodus make Blue$kkky better? probably not but it would be funny if it did
Like I’ve always said: the property and licensing argument about AI training has always been a corporate psyop to set up and legitimize moves like this, where big property holders and content hosts get to reap the rewards by claiming dominion over everything they touch while everyone who works and creates gets fucked, and the proprietary slop generator they feed becomes “legitimate and ok, because it’s properly licensing its training data”. That’s why AI is a labor issue rather than a property issue: AI isn’t stealing extant art, it’s devaluing skilled labor and destroying creative jobs and setting up for further squeezing and extraction by Capital.
