In this defining moment, we must stand with those whose creativity shapes our culture, our economy, and our shared human story. Algorithms may calculate, but the human creativity behind it all is what pours heart, history, hope and the human into and out of every note, frame and story.... AI cannot be allowed to redefine the soul of creation. If we erode the rights that protect our creators, we don’t just risk economic loss - we risk a strangulation of those voices that tell our stories, reflect our struggles, and inspire our futures. Let’s affirm that in Britain, we value not just innovation, but the irreplaceable human spirit behind creativity and protect the rights that means we thrive. For now and generations yet to imagine, to dream, and create.show more

The oldest problem of humanity Ever since humans have lived in groups, they have collaborated and shared responsibilities. But how can everyone be fairly paid for their work? In the family, everyone usually contributes without compensation, expecting the family to help them. This already causes a lot of conflict among kin, so how could stranger collaborate in that way?

@ednewtonrex @DCMS @bpi_music @UK_Music @crispinhunt @DACSforArtists @FeaturedArtists @the_MPA @NewsUK @umpg_uk Thanks for this James!👏🙏🎼

@ednewtonrex @DCMS @bpi_music @UK_Music @crispinhunt @DACSforArtists @FeaturedArtists @the_MPA @NewsUK @umpg_uk Beautifully said and very true. The "irreplaceable human spirit behind creativity" is what defines the world's culture. Generative AI is a plagiarism machine that generates copy or images meant to enrich the few while eliminating the work of human artists.

@ednewtonrex @DCMS @bpi_music @UK_Music @crispinhunt @DACSforArtists @FeaturedArtists @the_MPA @NewsUK @umpg_uk thank you. i have stopped posting my music online until some of this settles. you're right...the lack of consideration from big tech toward creators is lowering morale at an exponential rate

@ednewtonrex @DCMS @bpi_music @UK_Music @crispinhunt @DACSforArtists @FeaturedArtists @the_MPA @NewsUK @umpg_uk Great work! AI is evil.

@ednewtonrex @DCMS @bpi_music @UK_Music @crispinhunt @DACSforArtists @FeaturedArtists @the_MPA @NewsUK @umpg_uk Thank you James. 👏👏

@ednewtonrex @DCMS @bpi_music @UK_Music @crispinhunt @DACSforArtists @FeaturedArtists @the_MPA @NewsUK @umpg_uk Thank you so much for standing up and expressing the issue so eloquently and succinctly. What happens in the UK with AI and copyright will have repercussions here in Australia, and the issue is global.

@ednewtonrex @DCMS @bpi_music @UK_Music @crispinhunt @DACSforArtists @FeaturedArtists @the_MPA @NewsUK @umpg_uk As my MP I have to tell you I have zero confidence in your administration! The sooner you are history the better!
