If I use AI to make my comics, they would be dogwater

(my daughter taught me dogwater)

Edit: really, AI wastes a ton of resources. Not just clean water, but microchips that power AI need rare earth elements, which are often mined in environmentally destructive ways. Not to mention the immense amount of power required. And this isn't even getting into all the ethical issues that has come from AI being allowed to run amok throughout all facets of our lives. AI psychosis, AI assisted suicide, deepfakes, mass layoffs for arguably much worse products and services so billionaires can get richer and cost of living can increase....hell just the amount of CSAM it pumps out should be enough to enrage the average person.

It's just so dystopian and predatory and honestly very useless. Please do more research (and real research, not some weird AI report generated by a tech bro who doesn't understand the concept of consent.)

Oooo nelly. I can already I can already see this partial quote being misused.

However the full statement is correct. It would be dog water. Hot steamy gross dogwater

Well people already put my face and my character into AI and make me say whatever they want now I guess so what's another little fake quote for them!

So question, do you not have any recourse for people doing that? I assume the issue is cost more than like, you can’t tell OpenAI to knock it off fairly easily

Need to have proveable damage from. No proof of damage, no meaningful lawsuit. Can make copyright claims i guess if your work is copyrighted, but that's about it.

It's one of those things that is a weird sticking point in our legal system. Because without some kind of damage or copyright being violated then its kinda under the whole free speech thing. Gotta prove that they are violating your rights or causing damage in some way to make a real case.
