The slow dehumanizing uncaring drift we’ve seen occur from author to “content creator”, has shaped a world where the “content” matters most, where the person is ignored and unsupported. And once they’re just a “content creator” they no longer have any value in being human. A machine “content creator”, a generative model, becomes easy to accept and reach for. And the process of severing author from material is complete. Only the content remains, any route of support to the creator is now gone.
