Their work was stolen to train AI, and it has hurt the livelihoods of too many artists, writers and comedians. And musicians.

AI slop from AI users - people who aren't serious, dedicated artists, writers, comedians and musicians - has been drowning social media, and the Trump regime is fine with that (and the AI bros love it because the AI slop, bad as it is, will attract more AI users). Every damn YouTube channel with AI-generated anti-Trump messages draws attention away from the real creatives with real messages that can hurt Trump. And a lot of that AI slop is from content farms in other countries - content farms that might have pro-Trump YouTube channels as well. AI will spit out whatever those cynical AI users ask it to.

At a time when we really need all those creatives, they're being victimized by AI bros and AI users even while they're standing up to the Trump regime.
