I agree AI used to DECEIVE for political ends can be dangerous when presented as ACTUAL, BREATHING, HUMAN PEOPLE, but simply used creatively (in cartoon form or obvious parody)....... well, I believe it's a fine tool for satire.

if the AI user is aware of the IP theft, then they're deliberately choosing to act unethically.

It does not matter at all if what's generated is photorealistic or an obvious cartoon or a stick drawing. It's still unethical, and using it shows contempt for all creatives whose work was stolen and used without permission to train AI.

Promoting what's generated by these AI tools, if you're aware of the IP theft, is also unethical.

I suggest you see these threads about the reaction on Bluesky to a teacher's union president posting AI slop:

American Federation of Teachers president thought AI slop would be "fun" to share on Bluesky. Big mistake.

If you support unions (DUers should) but still think it's OK to post AI slop, see the hundreds of Bluesky replies
