This is a nonsensical piece.

>You'll notice a trend here: Consent is just gone. It does not exist when AI enters the room in 90% of cases. Companies just foist it on you and tell you to shut up and like it, or leave.

This is ... not how consent works. At all.

It isn't how consent is supposed to work - but it's how rights currently operate. Maybe in the US (where a lot of these businesses are based) there will be a strong rebound during the next election? Right now as an artist (unless you've got disney lawyers behind you) you have no right to protect your art.

Exactly! I hate that people can't upload their blog posts, stories, drawings, videos, music, etc. without them being slurped up by AI models. Same for open source software. When exactly did we collectively decide that copyright does not exist anymore?
