Tried to register a Loudly account using my email from Tutamail, but only got “invalid email”.

Sent an email asking what was wrong, this was their reply (guess they only accept US emails. And here I thought Loudly was European) :

    No. I’ll not sit by while this technology is shoehorned into every aspect of our lives, created on stolen data and using insane amounts of water and electricity all to delegitimize information and devalue the art making process.

      Someone else’s use of it doesn’t shoehorn it into your life; you’re letting your irritation at google suggesting it every three minutes lead to saying no-one else should use it.

      Generating stuff with AI takes a comparable amount of energy to playing a video game. It doesn’t “delegitimize information” in any way, and doesn’t devalue the “art making process”, it’s just a different process for arriving at something kind of similar. If the outcome were the same, it might devalue the process, but that would then be a good thing.

      That only leaves alleged copyright infringement which to be honest I thought we were cool with. In any case, the OP’s use of an AI image generator isn’t going to lead to them not buying the art it was trained on so, again, not really a problem.

      If you don’t like it, don’t use it.
