Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    Artists, writers, creative professionals arguments on generative AI being copyright infringement is moot. They should simply rally with underpaid third-world AI training (tagging) personel to ask for labour compensation, maybe proposing continuous micropayment for individuals.

      I don’t get all the people who are rallying for stronger IP laws over AI stuff. Like that’s possibly the worst solution you could’ve came up with and will just make the already draconian laws even worse.

        IP certainly means protection, though it favors big corps than individuals.

        I’m all for those creative professionals. I get why people are upset about their work being used without their consent, especially from people who contracted to provide their work. It’s been used to exactly cut such jobs against them.

        But to combat the situation tighting IP law doesn’t seem to be the right tool.

          I think we’re better off restricting HOW its used like I’ve seen some people propose.
