On the other hand plagiarism is good and should be encouraged

idgi, like, certainly you must see that this form of plagiarism is not value-neutral or against authority or capital in any way right?
the form this takes is of a handful of already extraordinarily rich, billion dollar companies, backed by other extraordinarily rich billionaires, hoovering up the work of people who will never be able to afford a home, and laundering the labour involved in a way that can be sold back to people en masse, with all evidence that any of it originated at the hand of another human
they do this to enrich themselves while depriving the people they steal from a livelihood. my sister is an independent writer and can’t often get work writing original work anymore, just copy editing ai sludge
this isn’t some subversive blow against intellectual property, it’s automated theft of labour en masse
this isn’t the first time you’ve expressed something like this and i honestly don’t get how or why you seem to consistently lean toward the side of supporting generative ai (if only it were “more interesting”) and i find it quite frankly offputting
