"Creators ... are banding together with a simple message: Stealing our work is not innovation ... It’s theft ... When AI is trained on stolen creative works, everyone loses. Instead of culture ... all we’ll be left with is static & silence." 👏 👏#stealingisntinnovation remhq.com/news/stealin... #xl8

We all start somewhere. A basic doodle, a jagged model, a shaky vocal, or an awkward shortstory could lead you places you never thought you could go.

Find a medium you enjoy, start creating, and dont give up. The effort you put forth is its own reward.

In today's Re:Create Recap, Executive Director Brandon Butler points out the irony of the #StealingIsntInnovation campaign and how balanced copyright is vital to creativity and innovation. Don't miss it: recreatecoalition.org/a-note-from-...
A note from Re:Create: Innovation Isn’t Stealing - Re:Create
Anti-AI crusader (and talented actor, TBH) Joseph Gordon-Levitt launched a splashy campaign this week with some big name celebrity endorsements for a petition proclaiming “Stealing isn’t innovation.” ...

Anthropic stole 9 of my published works to train their AI. I worked for years on each book - countless hours interviewing, researching, writing and revising. #stealingisntinnovation

AI that *works for all* must include the writers, artists, and journalists who have not consented to their IP being used in the development of suicide helpers. @mark-carney.bsky.social @evansolomon.bsky.social

Hell yea!

Our hard work, our creative innovations are not tech’s gold mine.

The tech industry standard of exploitation and theft is not “progress”.

Our rights are to be respected and tech must to adapt to US!

Big Tech is trying to change the law so they can keep stealing American artistry to build their Al businesses — without authorization and without paying the people who did the work.
That is wrong; it's un-American, and it's theft on a grand scale.

AI has many uses, but stealing shouldn’t be one of them. They stole my books and the work of many other artists. That’s not innovation — it’s exploitation.

I'm a technical person and worked in IT for several years. But as someone who has had six full-length novels stolen and used to "teach" AI, I'm not a fan of that particular technology. So I've signed on to #StealingIsntInnovation www.stealingisntinnovation.com

I am pro-tech, but anti-theft.
If you care about the arts, you care about this-
Don’t let AI companies steal our creative work to create their product. #stealingisntinnovation

Writing a book takes years of thinking, drafting, and revising. When AI takes that work without permission and competes with the creators themselves, that's not innovation, it's exploitation. #StealingIsntInnovation

Many of my works — books, code, articles — have been taken by LLMs ... without permission or attribution, violating copyrights and licenses. I don't write to enable such theft.

So I support #StealingIsntInnovation and the 1000s of other creators who have joined, www.stealingisntinnovation.com

Creating art people connect with takes time and a lot of work. When AI companies steal creative works without permission and use them to power their products, that’s not innovation, it’s exploitation. Creative professionals deserve consent and compensation. #StealingIsntInnovation
