has caused no small amount of controversy in the last year, particular over in the entertainment industry. It was a big reason for the Hollywood strikes and the current strike affecting, and there’s been similar controversy over its use in the art field.

Ignorng that Kaepernick himself had connections that let him write a kids book for Scholastic and co-create a Netflix series about his own life with Ava DuVernay, this is a pretty worthless idea. GenAI’s often been called a possible aid for non-creative people to make their own things, but this technology steals preexisting work, so it’s effectively stealing.
