@ProPublica Would be good to track down their world wide affiliates so those in other countries can similarly show their displeasure by boycotting their services. @MFWitches - one for your team to look at in Oz

@FlyingTrilobite
Given we live in very much a digital world these days with many people spend upwards of 30% of their time awake experiencing a purely digital world (including many artists who now learn their craft primarily from a digital environment based on a variety of data sources that they have curated based on others recommendations, is it really that different when a computer does exactly the same thing.

@flakphoto G’day champion.

@FlyingTrilobite It's a really interesting debate and as a pro photographer and designer I sometimes integrate AI or use it to help formulate an idea.
Almost every artist learns the same way as AI. They start out studying other artists and take influence and inspiration from them to eventually form their own style but very few are truly 100% original in nature. This includes music, dance, illustrators, painters, photographers, writers. The only difference is that it is a computer making new art

@feditips It operates on the same presence as decentralised #crypto.
No surprise it is the centralised platforms that always seem to end up a mess.
