HEADLINE: CREATIVE WORKS CAN NO LONGER BE MINED BY AI WITHOUT CONSENT IN AUSTRALIA NEW REGULATIONS PROTECT ARTISTS' RIGHTS IN THE AGE OF AI

See, look, U.S.A., it's this easy

(and should have been done immediately upon the knowledge that these cheats and grifters were STEALING our work)

"Demoralizing cognitohazard" is just another term for the internet.

Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu says he's “never used generative AI, and never will.” Hardship is what makes the creative process rewarding - AUTOMATON WEST Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu discusses the history and evolution of game music and shares opinion on generative AI.

Via @automaton-media.com, composer Uematsu: “I’ve never used AI & probably never will. I think it still feels more rewarding to go through the hardships of creating something myself. When you listen to music, the fun is also in discovering the background of the person who created it, right?"

"Nearly 30 years ago, the collapse of Japan’s bubble economy engulfed the nation’s financial institutions in mountains of bad debt, triggering a wave of corporate bankruptcies, a sudden and extreme rise in unemployment rates, and stagnation of Japanese society as a whole. It was an era when many were robbed of hope, when dreams were measured by their price tag. “Against this historical backdrop, I crafted a story. It was the story of Ramza, a young man who fought tirelessly against the entrenched social class system. It was the story of Delita, who sought to take advantage of this confusion and despair to advance his own social position. It was a story of a peculiar destiny, in which friendship and betrayal intertwine. “And now, in 2025 – a time when inequality and division are still deeply rooted in our society – I offer this story once again. “The will to resist is in your hands.” Yasumi Matsuno -- Original Script, Scenario Writer and Editor

Did you know the "I've lived a thousand, thousand lives" scene parallels the "I'll go where you couldn't go and do what you couldn't do. I will." Scene

Fiction with dark themes and morally dubious characters cannot hurt you but the censorship of such media absolutely can.

Finally catching up on my Ao3 comments, which means a new chapter is on the horizon! (I promise I read them--several times--as they come in. I'm just terrible at responding. I have to hoard them like a dragon for a bit first.)

Remember, you can't spell plagiarism without AI.

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.

I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.

Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙
