The petition to repeal the act is growing quickly:

Artists really need to band together in a stand against AI content, or they will all be completely drowned out

One effect will be that unless you can also produce videos of the highest quality, your content will be drowned out. We might also see a surge of person in front of camera style videos doing well, though it won't be long before AI can consistently generate those convincingly too.

Reddit was already getting overrun with AI bots and this just caps it off. Things were bad enough with their automated username system making it harder to spot patterns

This is awesome, thank you! I will definitely approach the owners to see if Sonata can collaborate with them in any way. Letting users connect accounts could be a nice way to start building an anti AI alliance as I think the internet is not far now from needing that sort of thing.

Sure! I'm also making one myself, so it'd be good to know of any others.

And all the while the work of real people is undervalued and cast aside. Writers more than anything will need to band together soon in a zero AI alliance.

It's a weird one to describe, it's got a breadth of knowledge wider than any human but the competency of an intern.

If you're a senior dev it can at best act as a enthusiastic junior helping with mundane tasks. But if not it will likely produce working but heavily flawed and inconsistent code that will become difficult to maintain.

Endless slop that's visually impressive but containing nothing of any real substance, that actively demotivates real creatives from producing something actually worthwhile

Ipad kids = early discovery and intrigue gone.
Tiktok teens = attention span gone
Adults using AI = ability to think gone
And AI is only just getting started

Surely there will first be a hype fueled reverse bubble, in which employers realise that AI agents aren't reliable replacements for humans yet and start hiring more again. AI is progressing fast however, so the trend is clearly real

On the plus side this might be our finest opportunity to reduce labour while maintaining production, leaving more time for creative endevours. Though AI is smothering those areas too, I'm worried people will soon start to feel that working to get good at something is pointless.

And the more impressive it is the more suspicious you get. Really sucks for talented artists

And the UK creative industry is huge relative to the population of the country, it's one of our best assets and exports. Damaging it is exceptionally short sighted!

The speed at which people are happily throwing it away is astounding.

It feels like it's going from theory to inevitability at this rate
