A lawsuit alleges AI image generators violate artists’ rights by ingesting huge troves of digital images and producing derivative works that compete against the originals.

    You absolutely misunderstand Luddites. Luddites weren’t anti-technology. They were anti-worker mistreatment, which happened to coincide with the Industrial Revolution. So yes, we’re Luddites. We don’t want technology to cost people their jobs or make them worse.

      So, you think automation shouldn’t replace blue collar workers? You’re anti-factory?

        Sure, as soon as there’s a universal basic income, let all the automation out there replace blue collar workers.

        What other option would you suggest?

        Also, “anti-factory” is one of the silliest epithets I’ve ever heard in my life.

          So, you’d be cool with AI replacing white-collar workers if there is UBI? And let’s just be clear, right now, you are anti-factories. Please admit it.

          Also, “anti-factory” is one of the silliest epithets I’ve ever heard in my life.

          Lol, you know what I mean and I’m not trying to impress you. Let’s be honest, you don’t like what’s being said so you’re trying to belittle it. Nobody is fooled but yourself.

            No, I have no idea what you mean by “anti-factory” other than “person who hates factories,” which is just silly. Am I also “anti-chair” or “anti-banana?”

              Lol, okay. You don’t know what I mean. Or you do and you’re just doubling-down on playing dumb.

              Either way, sorry for your ineptitude. Goodbye.

                Ok, I genuinely don’t know what you mean. Weird that you think everyone is supposed to automatically understand you and anyone who doesn’t is inept. Are you so clear in your language that no one can ever misunderstand you unless they’re an imbecile?
