The discourse around AI art is entirely too property brained* to ever arrive at an actual solution**, but "let's actively commit industrial sabotage by feeding the AI poisonous nonsense that breaks it" is about as good a material praxis as is possible right now. If it weren't for the material ramifications of giving everyone a magic slop generator that would actually be pretty good, except all that does in hellworld is enable grifters to make endless seas of low-effort slop to try to grift some money while businesses start cannibalizing themselves harder to replace support staff with dangerously wrong chatbots and artists with empty slop generators.
It's basically the same old conflict of the new automated machine sucking absolute shit in every practical way except for scalability and cost-per-unit. If people could throw their literal shoes into the works to break those, the least people can do now is throw a hypothetical digital shoe into its digital brain.
* It genuinely doesn't matter past the most immediate short term if corporations get their unlimited training data or have to build stables of training data that they own completely, because either way they get their proprietary slop generator and the harmful effects of AI generation continue unimpeded.
** AI generation needs to be a poison pill for an entire work's ownability regardless of the ownership status of the generators training data, and it needs to be an exacerbating factor when used for spam or fraud.
