world's intellectual property, by a handful of AI companies whose execs were aware it was theft and illegal, to formatting and fonts.

I keep explaining why it's bad thing to post AI slop here, in a liberal forum where genAI is on the wrong side of so many issues liberals care about, and you apparently don't understand any of the reasons, or you think I'm unusual in caring about those reasons.

You should search for

ai slop block

on Bluesky, which will get you this page to see how people there view AI and people who post AI slop:

Or you can look at this thread on DU

which will direct you to hundreds of angry responses on Bluesky to a teacher's union president very stupidly posting AI slop she thought was "fun" - and finding out that quite a few who replied felt she'd completely disqualified herself as a union president.

Bluesky tends to be liberal, so the responses there to people posting AI slop shouldn't surprise anyone at all. Those are ethical, liberal responses - combined with a lot of shock over a teacher's union president giving a thumbs-up to AI slop "art" and an industry built on theft that has already been especially harmful to both teachers and artists.
