    Why should we ban AI, a really useful technology, also for co-collaboration within the Arts, just because some people will make money with it? Art has been constant copypaste remixing anyhow.

    I said ban for creative works, at least for commercial use, which is a very little part of what can be done with AI; and maybe personal informations processing though, cause you know… privacy

    Why would anyone read GOT in space when they can just read GOT? The people opting for GOT in space will most likely already have read GOT anyhow

    Because it won’t be called GoT: space edition, it will be a rip-off of GoT with the same overarching story and characters but in a scifi/whatever setting. And yes, it already happens: many TV series on Netflix are a rip off of other successful series (most of the time produced by Netflix), which flood the platform; it happens with every single successful serie. You can find dozens if not more of the same, fucking, TV serie with a different name but with the same old jokes, characters, plot point and sometime style.

    Why do people watch them anyway? For the same reason cable TV is so trash: cheap entertainment works, no matter how shitty it is; it happens with anime/manga/light novels too.

    And yes, it is shitty. But at least it takes time to write and produce that crap, while with AI it will be immediate and cheap. Cheap and immediate means they will produce so much crap, finding quality stuff will be nigh impossible since it will cost much much more to produce with less earnings than garbage.

    It will never surpass the original

    I think you don’t watch, play games et similia… originality is a luxury nowadays. Why do you think Netflix cancels every single serie that isn’t a hit in the first few months? Cause they can. It is cheaper and lucrative to cancel what doesn’t work and re-iterate on the same shitty formula until the crap sticks on the wall. And it works, they do it, and they do it now.

    Also copyright should never forbid someone to write in the style of someone else. How would you even proove it?

    It’s already happening. Before, humans used to do the exact same. Why is it be different now with AI? It’s just more and faster imo.

    This is quite easy actually, while it’s hard for technical things. Taking inspiration doesn’t mean copying. Modern “AI” doesn’t think, which means anything it does is a copy.

    We are already reaching, if we aren’t already, a Fahrenheit 451 level of entertainment, “AI” will surely put the final nail on the coffin.

    “AI” are a beautiful thing, but in our current society, where profits is everything and people are nothing but a number, they are the scariest shit ever
