Many influencers take multiple complicated topics and just pick a side. I think this is one of the reasons why they are becoming popular; it drives engagement. Personally, if I do not understand the problem fully, I tend not to discuss it. Ethics of AI training on human art scraped from the Internet, abortion, vegetarianism, religion(s). Or even might be established ones like piracy.

I feel like some of the topics become ‘obvious’ for everyone because they were beneficial for someone, and they were able somehow to drive insensitive about the topic. For example, piracy. It was okay decades ago when everybody was downloading MP3s from the internet and reading downloaded books. Now, people are ashamed even to admit this.

And I still don’t know by myself if piracy is purely evil. One of my games was pirated, and I think I have gained more benefits from it than losses.

I think in the future, AI training on human art scraped from the Internet will become ‘obviously’ acceptable. Many big companies are going to gain benefits from that AI, and they will drive the narrative to shape insensitive.
