AI Giants vs. Creator Copyrights — I’m Gutted
As a writer, you’ve got to think beyond book royalties.
Ever heard the saying, no one will come to save you?
If you’re a writer, it’s worse. There is no savior… Unless you’re in the minority with raving, consistent supporters excited to open their wallets.
Otherwise, it’s easy to think of all the trouble already plaguing this industry. Off the tip of my head — unexplained, frequent KDP terminations, demanding clients, changing consumer personalities driving algos, it’s endless.
Here’s another blow coming, friends. Well-funded corporations aim to help you sink. Shoulders slumped, wondering what the future holds. Your back will be further against the wall. More bad news awaits government sneaky approval.
Nope, they don’t want to do away with copyright.
Just one teeny-tiny change.
They want to manipulate the context of fair use in artist protections.
Blah Blah why do creatives act like it is them versus AI?
I’ve lost gigs to cheaper AI.
I’ve seen my best work reduced to synonym slush under new profiles.
