First of all, Holly, take a large step back before you make assumptions about my AI use. I'm not a copywriter by trade. I conduct consumer research and build brands.

I don't use AI to write. I use AI to take large volumes of online, open-source, non-copyrighted consumer conversations to find themes and sentiment about the products and services they use. Their conversations are not under copyright.

And, at the end of the day, a HUMAN (myself and my analyst) make sense of the data like survey data and any other data we use. We don't use the conversations to do the work for us.

That's the difference. I'm not stealing work from writers and artists.

Maybe ask questions before you make broad assumptions on how marketers use AI.

I'm not here for your sympathy. I'm here to alert other artists to the potential theft of their work.
