Valve quietly not publishing games that contain AI generated content if the submitters can't prove they own the rights to the assets the AI was trained on

You're comparing the current exponential growth of technology to a time where a family could afford to live off a single minimum wage income and I'm the one with the silly stance? Lol

The principle doesn't change. Yes, your stance is silly. So silly that I'm guessing you're financially impacted in some way.

The entire situation has changed. The factors that we are discussing and directly impact the ethics of generative AI, i.e. wealth inequality, have literally changed. You don't live in a vacuum.

And now my argument is so silly that I must be "financially impacted"? There it is, can't care about something if it doesn't affect me personally right? My income has not been affected, I'm actually a data engineer who works directly with generative AI, so I actually understand how it works.

The situation is exactly the same. Technology is rendering some human labor unnecessary. Like it has many times before. Like it will many times in the future. You can gnash your teeth and beat your breast about how gosh darn unfair it is, but it won't change it, or stop it, or even slow it down.

And yes, when people take irrational, emotional stances against change, it's almost always because they have financial skin in the game.
