  • No, but we do recognize scabbing, plus lets not forget the effects AI has had on people’s mental health. I would also argue there is a moral and ethical issue with taking other people’s work without crediting that goes beyond just copyright. Particularly so when trying to profit off of it.

    Lastly, to build off of my scabbing point. If we look at prior historical cases that are comparable, like the automation that sparked the Luddite movement, I think that its easy to see how anti-AI is pro-worker. AI (like industrialization) costs workers jobs, and while we live in a society that requires you to work to live, that is bad. It is not to say industrialization (or AI in this case) is inherently bad. Just simply that until society no longer works this way, it is harmful to workers. And in case it needs clarification, artists are workers.


  • Being exposed to only one race actually is a great way to create racism. Lack of exposure leads to a lack of understanding, and a lack of understanding often leads to fear.

    I’d imagine wealth and class play a big part in it because of the ways wealth plays into education, cultural exposure, etc, and the ways wealth affects their relationship with such things. Like how wealthy people tend to travel more, and thus get exposed to different races and cultures which helps tolerance of such things, but their relationship with all of it is deeply consumerist. Its still racism, but in a more subtle way. Race and other cultures is a commodity to them, either for entertainment or social and cultural capital
