With so many underemployed English majors in this land willing to write for a pittance, the tech industry has some kind of kink for quashing content produced by real creatives in favor of AI slop
I felt this one *hard*. I have a new director at work who is absolutely enamored with AI. When I voiced my opposition, his main rebuttal was that musicians steal from each other all the time. He saw absolutely no difference between one human being taking the work of another and modifying it, making it their own, putting it through their own personal filter and creating something new, and feeding AI a prompt to write a song. It's disheartening.
At the moment I'm managing to keep him from outright forcing me to utilize AI in any of my day-to-day duties, but I'm concerned that day is creeping ever closer.

Oh no! I’m really sorry. Too bad he can’t see the difference between “steal” and “be inspired by.” That sounds very disheartening.
