I think AI isnt exploitative by nature. The companies that own it of course are. AI is better as a technology if you are anti-copyright, as copyright almost universally protects profits of publishers and the owning class rather than creative laborers. However, AI also rarely makes interesting images or posts. Its kinda shit.
My take is I'm play with banning AI, but if someone in our community had the skills to use it to make quality posts I would be very open to it.
AI: ban it. Keep an eye open for quality AI posts though.
Moldy: Ban it.
