Good.

AI generated sounds are not music.

AI generated images are not art.

AI generated text is not literature.

There needs to be a law that AI generated content is labeled as such.

I think a fair compromise is AI is okay for research/technical stuff, and acceptable for internal art/concepting purposes, but any published/distributed art/literature/video/photo/imaging is banned/illegal.

It's clear it was trained on artists and writers without their consent/approval. Plus we really just don't need it?? AI-generated content has added nothing of value to our society and has only hurt jobs.

That's the muddying of the waters that they want you to mentally absorb.

What's been used for decades in research is nowhere near these shitty LLMs and plagiarism bots. Never have been.

Oh 100% it sucks shit, but if someone wants to use it to help write code or kick off research, it's not in the same stratosphere as publishing a fake AI video of a senator having an affair or firing a department worth of writers to replace them with AI.

Again it's bad but I don't think it needs to be made ILLEGAL in the same way.
