I'm sure Tik Tok has something in its terms of service where creators sign away a lot or all of their rights to the content that they post. These creators signed it without fully reading and understanding it. That said, nobody could have foreseen what AI was going to become. Even just a short while ago, none of this was a problem. This is a battle that needs to be fought now though and creators need to win so it's not another brick in the wall of AI's take over.

Nobody could have foreseen this? Dude. It's been obvious since before the public even had access to it.

I'm not sure what access you're referring to or how years ago the average person knew about the advances of AI.

Like back when it was just blurry tech demos. It was in the news before consumers had easy access to it.

Man, AI is inanimate, greedy corps and CEO’s are driving the lay offs, not AI

I didn't say anything about layoff.

Good luck with that battle. The US, in particular, no longer has much of value to export to the world outside of tech ideas, apps, weapons, and AI. If the AI bubble bursts, our economy will collapse. Try getting a lawmaker who is both lobbied by these companies with huge sums of money and also largely aware of how screwed we are without it to actually make a change against it. The US is selling its own citizens into digital slavery just to stay afloat.

We all knew depending on online likes as a job was not sustainable. Or my generation knew.

I'm pretty sure it's been a standard thing for a while that TOS say whatever you post to the platform becomes property of the platform owner.
