I think what they’re trying to say is that if asking AI to make something in the style of Blade Runner is copyright infringement, that opens the door to asking an artist to make something in the style of Blade Runner being copyright infringement. I don’t know how I personally feel about that, but it’s at least how I interpreted the comment.
One word: Kristallnacht
Hate speech is not protected by freedom of speech. You can’t yell fire in a theater, you can’t plot someone’s death on the internet. And corporations don’t have to follow freedom of speech. They only refuse to step in because they either agree with what’s being said or don’t want to lose money.
They only did that after A LOT of backlash. Their initial stance was to do nothing. This article sums it up really well:

They lost me when they refused to do anything about Kiwi Farms. Protecting privacy is one thing, facilitating hate crimes is another.
Nope, the steering wheel has no mechanical connection to the wheels. There’s not even a mechanical emergency brake, that needs to be done electrically too.
It’s not even cool, it’s scary. What happens when this 7,000 pound brick loses power? There’s now a battering ram flying down the road with absolutely no control.
They’re getting smart to that and are starting to hard code server IPs, circumventing any DNS you have in place.
Did you not watch the video? She explicitly mentions transphobia and genocide. And she made that video because a quote of hers was taken out of context (much like you’re doing) and people were saying her not endorsing Kamala meant she supports Trump.
She’s been getting a lot of hate for not endorsing Harris and people fail to realize the difference between endorsing and voting. Her entire point is that the government can’t be fixed in a day. Voting for Harris is the obvious choice but her being in office isn’t going to magically solve all our problems.
Fascism, the answer is fascism
He’s probably going through severe withdrawal 🎉
Something like BookWyrm feels like it’d be perfect to adapt to business reviews
Now that this project exists, I’m sure it’d be relatively trivial to implement in the app
Instead of blocking IPs, Google would just shut them down

I’ve been leaning more and more towards using fdroid just to find apps and then using Obtainium to install them directly from source.
Isn’t that ideally what the government is supposed to be? We can’t all individually fight for ourselves, so we vote for people to represent us and work to protect our interests. That is, if politicians actual represented their constituents and not the highest bidder.
I don’t think making art in the style of a copyrighted piece of work is wrong. Like writing a fanfic in an existing world (Harry Potter, LOTR, Blade Runner, etc.) isn’t copyright infringement, it’s covered by fair use. I think Alcon are suing the wrong person. A better case for copyright infringement is the AI company who trained their AI using copyrighted material that they almost certainly did not have permission to use.
