People don’t like that generative AI is based on stolen content.

Long before AI, people on the Internet were fairly likely to dislike copyright and correctly insist that copying is not theft.

How the times have changed.

    Been pirating books for a while. And in doing so, found a few authors I really like, so I ended up preordering some of their books and even recommending them to friends. AI doesn't ever preorder their books, and will probably not recommend them to random people without being paid to advertise by the author. Which is why the argument of, "I pirate, so what's the difference if AI does it?" kinda falls flat in my mind.
