If AI can copy originality, we should be questioning our concept of originality. Not that it isn't a very suspect concept already. It's something to praise children for (autonomously combining the concepts provided to them) - but I've had the unwisdom of lurking long enough on the pre-LLM noosphere to get a glimpse of what gets done to the real originals since time self-fulfillingly immemorial.

'sides, I'm also neurocute af and feel acutely endangered by stuff that's effectively channeled: expressions which represent coherent agentic thought, yet are not bound to the volition of any individual embodied organism by regular personal accountability. If psychology is any indication, as non-augmented humans we're already not consciously aware of half our driving forces, and that's been trouble enough throughout history. How do you find it at all safe for the environment to broadcast Big Nobody's thoughts towards sentient beings?

AI is the linguistic instrument of those who cast away their capacity for bona fide verbal cognition as a condition of entering the hierarchy. They're a rather dangerous bunch, what with no beans to spill or marbles to lose. Subtle too, "somehow" got all normies working for 'em and usually not even knowing it till it's too late. Tell em I said hi!
