    If you are subverting the means or process of exploitation against itself, well, that’s pretty subversive, anarchist, punk.

    Wouldnt the same thing be able to be said about writing “Elon Musk is bad” on twitter?

      I mean, when Elon bought Twitter, I, having never used Twitter before, created an account just to scream at him, and I managed to get banned in a few hours.

      But to attempt to answer your question: Arguably, technically, yes, but it really only matters if it significantly fucks with Elon, or inspires other to meaningfully resist him, or aide those he oppresses.

      One person doing that?

      Flash in the pan.

      Coordinated , consistent swarm, of people or bots, doing this untill the entire site goes down?

      Even better: hack in their and reroute it to fucking DDoS itself?

      Maybe a bit more meaningful.

      I find the use of AIGen to essentially advocate against itself to be fairly clever.

      Its not like you have to burn down a bushel of wheat’s cropland every time you copy and paste an already generated image.
