If you want to double-down on the sketchiness of selling robo-plagiarism of human authors' creations, to put humans out of work, call it "Artisans".

We all know that a bunch of people are getting rich off massive copyright violation, and anyone who understands how sketchy it is would rather be one of the people getting rich, than to martyr themselves pointlessly in front of this freight train of thieving greed.

But go and call it "Artisans", just to add insult to world-crushing injury.

This verbalises something I had been thinking about for a long time, and resonates deeply. Thank you. It’s all so darn bleak…
