  • The most interesting suggestion I’ve seen is a Chain of Trust method. I don’t know all the complicated details, but in short, a trusted central group is established and each person can vouch for others, and those additions can vouch for others, etc, building out a large group of (theoretically) trustworthy creators. If a person ends up being untrustworthy, their link in the chain is “cut”, removing their part of the chain and any cascading issues.

    I’m sure the method has issues, but it’s appealing as a mostly decentralized method of rebuking bad actors.


  • Should it be used as a weapon? No. But it fully deserves the ire. Generated content can not and never will be art, and artists that make use of it taint their own work and further enable the societal and environmental harm that accompanies it. The problem here is not a matter of caring too much, but an issue of how to appropriately handle a difficult-to-distinguish imitation of something that matters a lot to a lot of people.
