Furious AI Users Say Their Prompts Are Being Plagiarized
Move over, Ship of Theseus β thereβs a new paradoxical thought experiment in town. Some power users of generative AI have grown so comfortable with their new tools β especially image-generating ones β that they now feel entitled to the specific prompts they use to churn out slop, as if the entire technology wasnβt based on the work of human artists that had been ingested without consent. Consider Amira Zairi, a self-professed βAI educatorβ and βambassadorβ for Adobe, LeonardoAI, and TripoAI, who posted a scathing rant this week on X-formerly-Twitter to her 49,000 followers. Her complaint? Other people were βplagiarizingβ her unique AI prompts. ββMake your own promptsβ isnβt advice. Itβs basic integrity,β Zairi wrote, using syntax that reads suspiciously like text generated by ChatGPT. βIβm honestly fed up. Changing a few words, renaming the prompt, or slightly rephrasing it doesnβt make it yours, the idea is still the same, the vibe is the same, and the results are obviously similar.β βAnd no, this isnβt about one or two people, and it didnβt happen once!!!!β Zairi continued. βCreating your own prompts is actually easier than copying someone elseβs work! Try it.β #AiSlop #AI Futurism

π΄ π - AOC: βI understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance and I. I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street.β
Given what's happening in the #US at the moment, we need to be really aware as to how Scotland is being used to further that agenda in other places
We can see what #Trump's got at the moment around #Greenland. We don't want to be complicit in that.
βIf we're not asking the questions about what they're doing when they come through #Wick, we should be asking the questions.
In the space of a week, the US administration has #kidnapped the Venezuelan president, suggested it could take Greenland next by force, and seized an oil tanker in Scottish waters.
As I write, highly civilised human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me. They do not feel any enmity against me as an individual, nor I against them. They are βonly doing their dutyβ, as the saying goes. Most of them, I have no doubt, are kind-hearted law-abiding men who would never dream of committing murder in private life. On the other hand, if one of them succeeds in blowing me to pieces with a well-placed bomb, he will never sleep any the worse for it. He is serving his country, which has the power to absolve him from evil.

Eating breakfast, hashbrown, oatmeal and a breakfast sandwich as I can't be bothered to cook anything more complicated, reach for my coffee... Where is it? Oh yeah, forgot to make it, we really need the coffee this morn.
Not much on the docket #today , work of course, weather is supposed to rain, bleah, and I think I might have my hated sub-zone today based on money and package count that's waiting for me, yay.
Prolly go in early after eating and taking care of a few minor things. Will have to buy lunch as I forgot to thaw out a sandwich last night, oops. Do you get the impression that I was knackered last night and still haven't recovered? Yeah, me too.
