I truly think the only solution to generative "AI" is to collectively decide that its use is the worst creative sin.
The cat is somewhat out of the bag imo. Since people can find and run LLMs locally, taking them down or making them illegal simply would not stop their use (making them illegal is a whole other rant). Even if no more were ever made, people would still find ways to use the ones that already exist. It isn't like bitcoin or nfts where multiple users are required to make them usable, so public disinterest isn't going to stop them from being used. Eventually it's going to be too difficult to train new models (power consumption, inbreeding, etc.), but only by shifting the culture around creativity and deincentivising their use can we curtail their use and maybe save the internet.
