My take is even IF AI was true AI - it could think for itself and therefore IS generating 100% original ideas; it's still theft. Because at that point, you have created a sapient being, and then stole it's work.
People who love AI just want socially acceptable exploitation.

Absolutely, and I think in some cases this is behind the trans/queer panics - it makes you feel WEIRD and ICKY so it has to be kept away from you, rather than you handling your feelings like an adult and thinking 'don't get it, but sure'
The way some people talk, it sounds like they literally equate uncomfiness with material harm.

Books should have a character who says “oh, but that’s BAD!” after every offensive thing to make sure readers know. I masturbated with raw liver for years after reading Portnoy’s Complaint, if Roth had the shrink say “don’t do that, that’s BAD!” it would have saved me a lot of trips to the butcher

The desexualisation of media (everyone is beautiful, and no one is horny) combined with an increasing hysteria around the 'pointlessness' of sex scenes is a key part of the fascistization of western culture and if we're going to fight back we're going to need to make it normal to be horny again.

If you're looking for some lovey-dovey stuff to read this Valentine's Day, contrary to popular belief we actually publish love stories all the time.
Check out this one about giving yourself up to be subsumed by the mould monster upstairs to escape the crushing pain of loneliness.
