With AI we’re about to have a lot of terrible books, shows and games released - and the talented people may be pushed out of the industry or forced to choose different careers in order to make a living wage. (I know there were SAG AFTRA strikes and now they may be fighting new disadvantages created by AI. Such as actors being pressured to sell the rights to their voice or likeness in perpetuity for a one off fee.) So while there may be content it’s likely to worsen.
The content also gets gatekept to ensure maximum profits, price hiked, and wiped out if the corporation feels like it.
And there’s less motivation for independent artists/writers to create or share as a lot of it is being stolen.
Not enjoying this direction.
If it was only a moral matter I would straight up pirate everything. Even provide. Since I lack the experience to know for sure that I’m avoiding the pitfalls (both legal and in terms of continuing internet access/damage to my device) I don’t. But I don’t blame anybody who does and consider it a service in media preservation.
These arseholes deserve it. A lot of stuff isn’t even available in any other way.
Edit: I watched the Time Traveler clip and am struck by the lack of curiosity there. That’s a danger too. AI may be used as a tool to the point people get too lazy to do their own thinking.
I’m not sure about that.
