This is my 2 cents to protest against the covert use of artists' work to train AI. I have nothing against new technologies, as long as they serve people and don't use them for commercial purposes. I would like to use AI, but I wouldn't want "it" to use my work without my knowledge and consent. I could agree to feed AI with my works, provided that I know how and for whom it is used.
Every time I have to prove that I'm not a robot, I feel stupid. I wish it wasn't in vain. I wish AI had real social utility, for free, just like it has been using my (and others) work for its own benefit, also for free . I don't want to be just a battery for them.
