Generative AI is illegal and most people don’t seem to care. It’s been stealing and using writing from the internet in plagiaristic ways, including mine, since an early version of chatGPT. Most if not all of the AI applications that generate text have used my writing and artifacts from my writing on my websites, Quora, and possibly elsewhere, to produce new content using code to adapt it. Scraping has destroyed my websites, sometimes for months at a time, starting in 2020 or 2021. It hurts me emotionally to even go on them to check on them because of the extreme demoralization and innate loss of value done by the software and those responsible for it. The subtle feel of one computer process is multiplied through layering to produce an uncomfortable effect when scraping software attacks a site, along with the fact that theft is taking place.
AI also invades people’s privacy, essentially turns them into plagiarists, and has been imposed on so many digital platforms it’s become hard to avoid. No one in charge has seemed to understand software engineering enough to identify it for what it is.
I believe I was noticed as a writer due to being named a “Top Writer” on Quora for two years, and possibly the fact that I was identified as an abuse victim/survivor.
I’ve tried to opt out of this type of theft and abuse in multiple ways, including protesting against it from the first rumors I received about it in 2020. but the developers and the systems seem to pivot and start using me again. This is a constant misery, and my life is hard otherwise.
