It’s not your expression, it’s a machine given words that it uses to create a consensus of how other people have expressed it. Expression is your voice, not the voices of others serrated and dragged through a machine made to mimic your mouth. You express nothing, you forfeit your voice to allow the rest of humanity to speak for you. Here, you even say the ultimate goal is the erasure of human voices. Your “expression” leads to a lack of humanity, not a furtherance of it. Every iteration and invention of art has found new ways to allow us to culminate the human experience through sensation, but generative AI is cancer, it’s the cells of what we’ve already built spinning ad nauseam until all we “make” is what others have already made. It’s a dead end and lifeless, and goes against whatever spirit, soul, or God gave us the gift of creation in the first place.
@SmugAlana Take all the time you need to heal and get better. Remember, the smugglers will always be waiting and you aren't letting anyone down by taking some much needed time off for yourself.
@SmugAlana You will get through this. Every smuggler is praying for you and all of those around you.
Never give in to despair, no matter how awful things might be going right now. Hope will shine again.

This is the last time I'll hopefully ever have to speak on it, but please stop saying, "This person NEEDS to say something". Nobody owes you anything, regardless of what you may believe. Let content creators make the content they wanna make in peace.
I think it's that simple.
@SmugAlana Youtube is genuinely terrible, it sucks so much you have to go through this BS.
It's a shitty situation, but don't let it beat you down. Take care of yourself, and remember things will get better. You've made it through worse before.
@KitsuneroVT No, your reaction was completely justified. Being rude in a streamer's chat in the name of another streamer is never acceptable.
Consider sharing the chatter's name with Alana's mod team. What they did doesn't do any favors for the community's reputation.
