195: Generative AI has a major consent and plagiarism problem in creative spaces

This episode explores two extremely problematic aspects of generative AI in creative spaces: a) lack of consent, and b) plagiarism. We discuss this through the lens of the performing arts (such as the burlesque community), as well as book events (such as markets). This isn’t a call-out, it’s a calling-in, and please know that all of this is said with love! ALSO: I am addressing this episode to people who are using generative AI in the creative spaces. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and assume that most of our listeners here on the Author Diary Entries podcast are NOT using generative AI — in which case, think of this episode as a resource for discussing with others about WHY you don’t use it, and why they should care. Please do share this episode, because this is a very important topic! If, on the other hand, you DO use generative AI in the creative spaces… this episode is an appeal to you. And again, this is a calling-in. I do not believe in shaming people, and this is NOT about shaming anyone. If you feel defensive at any point throughout this episode, that’s probably going to be a good indicator that there’s something deeper to explore. Get curious about any defensiveness you might experience. This is an invitation to go within, to think about your values, to get clarity on what matters to you. Remember to leave a voicemail for the author after tuning in to this episode, to share your thoughts, insights, questions, and comments! Resources mentioned in this episode: Sagan’s burlesque persona (Babe Maverick) on Instagram: Instagram.com/babemaverick Episode 187: You are hurting YOURSELF when you use AI to “write” your books: https://www.buzzsprout.com/400015/episodes/17423776-187-you-are-hurting-yourself-when-you-use-ai-to-write-your-books “Why choose” chick lit novels — the Polyamorous Passions series and Small Town Stilettos: SaganMorrow.com/books Connect with Sagan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/saganlives Connect with Sagan on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@saganlives Tune into ALL episodes of the Author Diary Entries podcast at https://saganmorrow.com/podcast Send fan mail!
