I can't believe your being righteous at an illegal site...

reading on an illegal site is definitely different than uploading an author’s work into an AI machine like let’s not pretend all bad things are equally bad lmao

Agree

You're really doing bad at pleading your case. Like you said, all bad things are equally as so you reading at an illegal site and them even just uploading it here is all a crime. We're all bad here so stop that hypocrisy of yours.

Reading illegally is bad, feeding the work to AI is twice as bad because thats not your own craft and you feed it to AI?? AI is much more harming, it steals the author artstyle and story

I'm no saying reading illegally is better. Both are bad. BUT feeding someone's hardwork to AI basically goes against the human creativity law and feeding machine to steal human's skill

If you still dont get it, let me laid it out for you. Reading illegally: - the author get less payment
- uploaded the work without consent
- more possibility of people got hooked and pay for the story on the official platform
Feeding the work to AI: - feeding the work without consent to AI
- making it possible for people who use AI to have the author art style
- the storyline will also possibly get used when people generates story from AI
- more artist is against AI than pirating

Both are bad and not appreciating the author hardwork, but feeding their work to AI is much more disrespectful and much more hurting

Rather than being righteous, its just trying to respect author and not fuck them over completely. Not everyone who reads illegally is completely bad, but feeding the work to AI just screams they dont care about the author at all

People who read illegally can still support the author, either stopping read illegally, buy the chapters or donate ko-fi or paypal. Feeding the work to AI?

I hope you get why using AI isnt redeeemable

No, I won't understand cuz using ai i more legal than reading illegaly and uploading online.
