If the “creatives” had not existed AI would have no source material. Do these idiots think there will be no new creative paradigms- or are now we forever stuck with anything pre-2024?

As an attorney who has worked extensively in music copyright, the AI people do not understand the logical conclusion of their business model. If there is no *individual* to be the copyright holder, there can be no copyright -- which means all AI-generated "content" becomes unprotectable.

Because it’s about control. Creatives usually have Standards of some sort they adhere to, and people who can’t create often want those standards subverted for whatever (usually dumb ego driven or profit driven) reason. Creators will often push back to maintain those standards.

I could maybe see a case against ad copywriting. But I'm speaking as an outsider. It seems like a soul-draining job that insults the word "creative" but if people who do it actually like it, I'll happily change my mind.

💯 Wait till we see how using so-called AI to attempt to replace and ruin creative jobs creates a dystopia far worse than those envisioned in science fiction. A world where Isaac Asimov only sold hotdogs? Trust in a brand can take a lifetime to build and one dumb blunder to obliterate forever.
