“Artists gotta eat but not programmers”. Commoditize your complements at the societal level.
Not a great philosophy when you realize that the set of things we all love is probably empty. Well, maybe it contains kittens.
A great number of doctors, lawyers, artists, programmers. etc donate their time doing professional level work to worthy causes. Whatever anyone does with AI is not in the same category.
“I don't like their policy, but I accept it as it is because it is not possible right now for me to paint on something else.”
Did they miss it, or did you misunderstand what "commons" means? AI complicates the goal a bit, but no, I don't think they missed anything. Here's what CC had to say on the topic so far: https://creativecommons.org/ai-and-the-commons/
>> "AI is built on the commons. To serve the public interest, AI must help grow, not diminish, the commons, ensuring benefits are widely shared. We need a new social contract, anchored in reciprocity and a shared commitment to the commons."
Which is a great idea. Putting up more barriers doesn't seem compatible with that. All you've done is pre-emptively cordon off your work from the commons based on the tools people use.
