As long as they are clearly marked as AI-generated

As clearly labeled as all the food products are?

They will not label them properly because that won't sell; if they happen to be labeling now, they will stop in the future. This is the entire "vote with your wallet" strategy they know they have control over since they will obfuscate all the valuable information we need to make informed decisions.

So you’re saying AI is not replacing jobs at all?

Honestly, there is little evidence that it actually has (successfully).

Of course, anything at a world wide scale will be true at some percentage; however, I doubt AI has actually replaced the labour of many. Even Meta gave up on pretending this and they are now firing people just to free money to pour on AI, not because AI is actually replacing those people

they will stop using it the second it's no longer free... and it cannot be free forever because the bubble has to pop at some point

sad that it will take this long but here we are

but apparently enough to silence the other mythical 70%

I already boycott everything

then why are you all offended here? If you are acting then I am clearly not talking about you… now if a large portion of Americans were acting as you say you are, the effect would be notigeable which is not the case here

wtf are we actually supposed to do?

I already told you… boycott as many corps as possible, disrupt economic activity in any way you can, deny your data to all big tech, etc

the issue here is that you all seem to want a free, easy, immediately effective solution to a problem decades in the making

wtf are you to do? something, anything would be better than pretending to be hapless

Canada… and just by not buying American booze and reducing trips to the USA we have generated more pressure than Americans being 10 times our population… so it's really hard for me to buy the notion of the caring but hapless American

and belong in a nice Canadian jail

Not OP but in general people take it to the streets, not on weekends but during work hours so there is an economic disruption the government is forced to pay attention to.

In lieu of that, any economic disruption would work, literally simply cancelling services that are not needed (streaming services for example) and/or cancelling accounts with any of the tech bros.

It's been 17 months and the only thing Americans can claim to have done is 2 weekend protests, one of which Trump literally posted a video of himself shitting on protesters. In the meantime, literally thousands of people have been slaughtered due to the actions of your government. Sorry for being unable to accept the "Americans are the REAL victims" take you seem to have fully adopted

Gargamel is still at it...

So they are "shielding" themselves from a reputation drop by making an incredibly naked attempt and pushing the price to the roof so nobody wants it?

I mean, come on... if they had increased it $20 by $20 until nobody wants it, I would buy your hypothesis, but this is like pooping on my Director's desk while he is in the office to get fired

How is this less blatant than just announcing they are cancelling life time subscriptions? or even better, just removing the option without any announcement?
