Hello from "I used to create original stuff and share it on the internet with some entirely reasonable limitations on its use but because some dudes are happy to just run it through AI and pretend they made something and then have the bloody gall to try to license the result themselves so I am no longer creating and sharing much on the internet and that feels bad and sad". Gaaaah.

No wonder there's such an overlap between AI dudes and dudes you would leave your tipsy female friend alone with; "consent culture? never heard of it". Argh. (Probably best not to leave your drink unattended in a bar in San Francisco these days. The broken boys are everywhere here now.)

I share your thoughts on the AI pillaging plotter tool. Surely, code sourced from open source projects could be referenced by AI ? I recently came across Ken Perlin's smoothstep function that had correctly been credited by Claude. So, if open source projects are correctly documented, with licence and author, that information should be relatively easy for an AI to pull in and create a list for credits.

Yup, and it makes me laugh he put an MIT license on it, which requires the full text of any other MIT license from other projects dumped in - which has clearly happened. I guess if he asked the AI to document and reference everything correctly it would have done (maybe) - intentions matter.

Intentions and responsibilities too :––/
