People have been using my work to justify generative AI at events & press that I have not commented on or consented to recently. AI requires much nuance, but generative AI tools that are trained on stolen data and have no regard for cultural accuracies will never be the way.

OpenAl (who made ChatGPT) said that you can't train Al models without using copyrighted materials. What does this mean for artists, for creatives, for protected cultural information, and so many others when companies steal our data without our consent.

Recently, non-Navajo people made an Al generated art series about a Diné girl who loves STEM. This really disappoints me because there are so many talented Diné artists to hire but they instead chose to use Al. Also, Diné stories should be told by Diné

While Arizona is working to create more data centers to power Al and improve power infrastructure, they denied Navajo Nation support while many live without power.

OpenAI is afraid of copyright infringement and Studio Ghibli and Disney but not meddling with endangered Indigenous languages and creating inaccurate tools like Whisper based off materials they didn’t create that were NOT open source
