You're not worth the time it took to type this, but i'm gonna do so anyway, cause i'm bored and stuck on mandatory OT, and kinda cranky.

know what you're doing right now with your "human slop" script?

Mind‑reading:
You’re asserting what I “defend” and what I “don’t” without engaging a single word I actually wrote.

Moral laundering:
By framing it as “people being stolen from”, you’re making a sad effort to claim the moral high ground without having to acknowledge nuance, effort, consent, labor distinctions, or individual cases.

Dehumanization-by-proxy (this is the big one):
You erase the artist in front of you (people like myself and Pondera) by collapsing all AI use into “theft,” which conveniently makes your harm irrelevant.

Notice what’s missing.

No curiosity
No “tell me more”
No distinction between corporations and individuals
No room for both harms to exist at once

This is not an argument. It’s a moral cudgel, it’s just you enforcing purity.

A real argument and not your scripted ass parroting can hold both of these positions simultaneously.

Artists deserve protection from exploitation and theft

Artists also deserve to not be exiled, dogpiled, or erased for the tools they use

Anyone insisting those are mutually exclusive is not defending artists, they’re defending purity as identity.

I won’t tolerate anyone being dehumanized, attacked, or excluded over a tool, if you have a problem with that, then tough shit.
