I have been struggling to understand why so many people would gleefully and openly celebrate the theft of writing and art via AI. Then I realize they haven’t ever had something that they personally brought to life, nurtured, loved and was immensely proud of, let alone depended on for paying the bills and feeding their families—they’ve never had anything they needed to protect at all costs, and that leaves me even sadder than I was before.
I am a writer, storyteller, and cybernetics researcher.
