    We’re just not doing the same knee-jerk reactions to GenerativeAI as technology. I would argue most of us are against corporate control of such technology though. In a sense it’s like not being against social media even through we’re against facebook and reddit.

    Personally, I reject copyrights as a valid framework, and thus all arguments that hinge on respect for copyrights to go against GenerativeAI fall flat. I likewise find that the problems caused by generative AI are capitalist problems, and not technological problems.

    More to the point, I regularly upvote and posts posts such as the OP myself on [email protected]
