I didn’t mean to suggest that. I consider calling copyright infringement “piracy” to be propaganda started by the music industry to push their monetary interests. A derogatory term that conflates it with immoral stealing (and murder). This overstates any harms caused.

Culture is just that which a group says/does. If you value the well-being of humans then you can evaluate if an action is good or not. “Respect” of culture need not come into the solution of how best it is to act.

Remember when stealing on sea was piracy? Always has been.

Copyright infringement is different.

Wikipedia content is usually copyleft isn’t it? BigAI doing the BigEvil, redistribution without attribution or reaffirming the rights given back from Copyright by copyleft.

A “clash of cultures” would not be inaccurate as “culture” includes everything a group says/does. It’s an insufficient term as it often conveys mundane differences but “stigma, discrimination, and violence” is a substantially more moral difference (if Wikipedia is accurate about gender identity and expression in Kenya).

If we had a universal basic income (UBI) thwn working would instead be a choice to improve their standard of living, rather than just to live.

I could agree about liberating work except I assume the AI is trained on artists’ works without compensation and permission. Artists created works already and it’s taken advantage of to create the AI, presumably for the profit of the proprietary software owner.

Perhaps balaclavas will become common place in response, at least in public places.

A billion dollars is a worthless amount of money, apparently. Do investors have no loved ones?
