It's amazing to me that "criticizing the use of AI" is supposedly classism, but "building a product on the stolen work of people with a median annual income of $25k and refusing to compensate them because you know they can't afford lawyers" isn't.

my favorite is when they try and "leftistly" insist it's all part of IP law. no, dipshit, it's personal vs private property. it's literally the exact same reasoning why we mock the "communists want to take your toothbrush" types. art is personal property that you let others use as you see fit

I don't think it's classism. It is how the creators of the AI use material from others without explicit and clear consent. That part is what's classist and elitist. But if someone gives explicit and clear consent, and is appropriately compensated, that is another matter completely.

I find it really telling that every person who's take has been something like, "But you don't pay the writers who inspired you extra" has some kind of TERFy "feminist" descriptor in their bio. Blocked every dang one of them.

The utter lack of quality in the arguments in favor of NaNo’s brain-dead post speaks volumes. No war but class war motherfuckers, and you’re not on the side you think you are

I have a feeling this is what happens when you see class relations in terms of discrimination rather than exploitation at the point of production

Me, a disabled dude who's only work is art, watching my ability to pay my bills dwindle: Yeah. hating on this sure would be mean to disabled people.

I've never heard about it being classism. What's their reasoning there?
