Nick Clegg, former Meta executive and UK Deputy Prime Minister, has reiterated a familiar line when it comes to AI and artist consent.

He said that any push for consent would “basically kill” the AI industry.

Clegg added that the sheer volume of data that AI is trained on makes it “implausible” to ask for consent.

If being declined concent is going to kill your industry then maybe your industry deserved to die.

Fucking rapist mentaility right there.
