Quantum Clarity, Stone's Insight: Where AI Meets Labor, the Dance of the Future Begins
—Don't Strike, Just Write

In the quantum realm, every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

The same principle applies to the labor market, where the ongoing writers' strike represents a futile resistance against the inevitable tide of artificial intelligence (AI).

As the world grapples with the ethical and economic implications of AI, the Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America have been on strike for over three months, protesting the "widespread misuse of generative artificial intelligence" (Times Delphic).

However, this strike is doomed to fail, and here's why.

From Creation to Co-optation: Are AI Giants the New Art Pirates?

8/17/2023

By Charlie G. Peterson, IV. Forward by Greg Walters.

AI to content creators: 'I think I've read your work... or a million others.

Executive Bullet Points:

Rising tensions between content creators and AI companies over the use of copyrighted material for AI training.
Potential legal implications could reshape the AI industry's data collection and usage practices.
The broader reevaluation of online content's value and the implications for the future of creative professions.

Greg's Words

The new way of content and art creation is upon us and everybody is in an uproar.

Art is a business. But tell me, what is the harm in taking inspiration from a Van Gogh and creating a painting of Irises - on Mars?

AI will not destroy Art. AI will accelerate art beyond our current comprehension. AI is a tool, sure. But a tool on the scale of discovering a new color; billions of new colors.

While the trivial argue copywrites, regulations, and content-pirates, a few carbon-based life forms, perhaps not yet born, will grasp the reins and ride bareback into the wild.

Leaving us breathless, the petty trappings of a sad existence forgotten.

Perhaps.
