AI is profiting from human creativity – isn’t it time creators got their fair share?

A fair deal for creators isn’t just about making things right, it is essential for the future of creativity and AI.

I responded to this today. I’ve spent 5 years on a research-intensive biography drawing on never-published archive material. If AI giants can steal my work, internet users will be able to learn about the remarkable Duchess of Atholl without me seeing a penny. #paythecreator #madebyhumans

The Government is considering allowing AI companies to freely use your works, unless you opt-out. This is unfair and unworkable.

Now is your chance to tell them what you think! Submit a response to their AI consultation using the guidance below.

Please, fill in the #AI consultation TODAY to stop the government gutting copyright. ALCS has a guide to the key questions, you don't need to do all of it.

I was impressed by my MP's opposition to the plans. Write to yours. Meet them

If you're a UK-based creator, please read and consider adding your name to the open letter linked to in the quoted post.

Don't forget that the UK government consultation is open until next Tuesday - please see my pinned post. Don't leave it too late!

I coordinated a letter from @societyofauthors.bsky.social members in Cambridge to our local MP asking him to respect British copyright laws and not vote to hand over the work of creatives to tech giants. #paythecreator #madebyhumans

Generative AI is an abomination. Heavily, heavily regulate it (and consider the environmental impacts) and stop it stealing from creators.

This is regarding UK law consultations, for those interested.

Grateful to my union @societyofauthors.bsky.social for fighting the UK government's plans to gift the work of writers, artists, musicians, filmmakers and more to AI companies (on top of the work they've already stolen) #MadeByHumans #PayTheCreator #BookplatesAgainstAI

It’s up to us all to continue to share #MakeItFair & #PayTheCreator for a sustainable creative future:
AI is here, and directors need protection for their copyright and transparency around how their work is being used.

We’re calling on directors and artists across the industry to write to their MP, and ask them to protect creative talent.

Going in the right direction but sounds a bit vague and unconvincing. Also, Guardian, this campaign isn't about a few famous people, it's about thousands of us. #PayTheCreator
'Sources have told the Guardian that ministers have accepted the need to protect British creative industries from the plans, which would otherwise have made their work available for access by AI companies unless they deliberately opted out.'

I've already responded to the government consultation on AI and copyright. Several of my responses were the same: “You don’t 'encourage' people to comply with the law. You penalise them if they break the law.” #PayTheCreator

There’s much to love about AI.
But it’s not fair that writers don’t get paid for our work being used to train it. Esp as most writers like me have day jobs to subsidise working as an author. Off to the gym to earn my pennies.

As you may have gathered from the number of reposts I've made this morning, today is the UK deadline for responding to government consultation about AI to ensure that creators are fairly rewarded when their work is used to train AI. #makeitfair #PaytheCreator.

This is probably a stable door/ horse bolted scenario but please, dear AI overloads, give us some pennies for scalping us. #AI #paythecreator #madebyhumans #fair #tuesdaymotivation #optin #authorlife #writingcommunity

We must not allow the UK Government to relax copyright restrictions for AI developers. It amounts to stealing!

Please: email your MP before the Gov consultation closes on 25 February. Thank you. 👇

海外には #PayTheCreator 「クリエイターにちゃんとお金を払って!」系の運動がけっこうありますが、日本でも「生活が成り立つレベルの原稿料を払って!」系のキャッチーな運動をやった方が良い気がしてきました。
