They’re suggesting UBI in place of copyright. So all that work your doing right now could be stolen by others and sold for cheaper than you would sell it, without your permission. So companies like Disney can just take it and put it in a movie or something, without paying you.
All you would get would be your UBI, they would get the profit.
They are suggesting focussing on UBI instead of getting angry at AI art as a bandaid for capitalism taking artists jobs away, because, spoiler alert, capitalism is going to keep using advances in tech to take all of our well paying jobs away. One solution gives us all a way to live, the other stems the tide for a TINY bit for ONE category of workers
All of which is your work.

We should just do UBI anyway. Copyright is a whole fucked up world of nonsense, we don’t need to go there.

copyright doesn’t stop stealing. I creates a tort against copying.
Stop comparing businesses to people and we can probably get that sorted as well.
