Proposal: No AI Content Policy

Because of the way AI models got created, there is no way to use them to create art that is not copyright-encumbered. Policies and laws are likely to be in a state of flux for a long time while we recalibrate to our new reality, but at the end of the day, there is no counterargument to “AI models are built on theft”. If we use AI tools to create content, we are participating in that theft.

I don't feel passionately about this. I don't hate AI. If anything, I'm disappointed in myself for not seeing through the hype sooner. I hit this point hard because it's a moral landmine that's really easy to not step on, and for practical reasons, it would really help me out if we could just never step on it.
