Just saw someone raging about AI-generated book covers with "faces stolen from actors".

OMG, do they have a GoFundMe somewhere for reconstructive surgery? Are the faceless actors getting care?

My point here is that if you want to engage with the real challenges and difficult arguments around control-of-likeness and payment for authorship in the digital age, you've got to be tall enough to get on the ride without tendentious metaphors. Stop talking about it like somebody carried away a goat.
