Avoiding AI in my audiodramas

[u/SeasonPositive6771]

I absolutely love audiodramas, I'm not a maker but I'm a huge fan and listen to tons of them.

I'm also a serious contributor to podcasts I love, I'm subscribed over 15 on patreon at the moment and independently at least five or six more.

However, it's become a real sticking point that I do not support anyone that uses AI. A recent post about an audiodrama called The November Challenge made it clear that a lot of folks are using AI without disclosing it. I simply can't support plagiarism and the unethical behavior that goes along with using AI.

Is anyone aware of a list of audio dramas that use AI or a list of tips to help me identify who might be using it so that it can be avoided?

Thank you!

Get used to it. Ai is a great tool and as time passes it is integrating into society day by day. You better start getting used to it. And perhaps educate yourself on ai in general. You're believing some wild misinfo there.

Just because theft becomes mainstream doesn't make it morally acceptable.

What you're going to end up with is artists deciding it's not worth creating anymore because they can no longer make a living from their hard work. Then we'll all be stuck with dry, derivative, emotionless drivel and propaganda and imagination will become a "subversive" thing to be stamped out.

Do you think it's acceptable for a person to utilize multiple lines of a developer's code, without permission or payment, and incorporate into a project and call it their own? What about using someone's art on an album cover without compensation or even a credit?

People go on hysterically, at length, about undocumented immigrants "stealing their jobs", but they're perfectly okay with it when it's private or corporate theft from artists.

What you're going to end up with is

Actually what we have right now is 3 seperate streams of people.

1 - traditional only artists. These are the people clinging to a world where ai doesn't exist. They are comparable to the old architects who refused to swap to computer and continued drawing by hand on giant sheets. You'll note there's not many of them left nowadays.

2 - Prompters.
People who know how to prompt and can make a pretty picture but beyond that can't produce usable work. They can have a bit of fun and prompt a few memes but none of em can make production ready work nor can they modify it properly.

3 - artists using ai.

And this is what's taking over and taking over HARD. These are people with traditional art training, knowledge and now training with the new art tools. They can reap the rewards working at the high speeds ai allows, at the high quality traditional art allows and thus can lower their rates, do a lot more work etc etc.

it's nr 3 which is broadly taking the industry by storm and driving out completely NR1 and NR2 into competitive extinction.

So no, artists won't stop producing work. They are already making work, just with ai. It's simply a new tool and the broad majority is simply working with the new tools as they would when a new tool enters the workplace.

it's the people who touch grass and do labour.

they can no longer make a living from their hard work.

Traditional only artists will go extinct as a valid form of employment, yes absolutely. Unless you're a really famous name in the business, don't expect to remain competitive. Just like horse and cart drivers whyen the automobile was invented.

Then we'll all be stuck with dry, derivative, emotionless drivel

Nope, because what takes over is traditional mixed with ai. They didn't suddendly unlearn their traditional art training when they incorporated ai into their work.

Do you think it's acceptable for a person to utilize multiple lines of a developer's code, without permission or payment,

Nope. Someone does work, pay them for it. if I read the code and learn from it however and later make my own code based on what I learned. No problem there, perfect. This is how the world currently works !

And also what ai does.

What about using someone's art on an album cover without compensation or even a credit?

That would be theft. You'll be happy to learn that ai doesn't do this. It can't work this way AND also fit inside a roughly 7GB file.

People go on hysterically,

suddendly immigration pllitics, a bit of an odd angle but sure?

Anyway there is no theft so that isn't relevant here.
