Thank you. Very helpful. I used a bit of yours and added a bit of my own thoughts.
It's like giving a burglar the right to sneak in to your house, take your precious things, and run off without consequences. Your only right would be to notice that Great Aunt Anna's engagement ring had gone, and then go through a pile of admin to retain your rights to Anna's Ring. At which point, after a lot of unnecessary paperwork (remember you have given the burglar the right to do this as you did not opt out of being burgled as this is complicated to do) and admin, you finally get paid for the burglar's use of Anna's precious ring. And each of the things the burglar has stolen will have to be listed separately. More admin. More pain. More violation of our time and creativity.
Good on you Maggie. This is such an important issue and a crucial time to speak against the insidious incursion of AI into creative territory (or any other human endeavour, for that matter). As i’m Australian i can’t put in my two bobs worth to this consultation process but i hope lots of UK creatives follow your lead.
Just saw an article in the Guardian (Australia)- Black Inc Press in Melbourne is requesting writers give very dubious permissions for the use of their work.
Thank you so, so much for this - I would have missed the deadline otherwise and at any rate, would have been flummoxed by these ridiculous questions. You've saved us all hours! PS If they're going to bandy words like 'granularity' around I'll do likewise: This is a flaming CHUTZPAH of epic proportions. What next, the shirts of our backs??
Maggie I filled the form in and borrowed some of your words. The rest was basically 'Angry of Mayfair' from me (Kenny Everett). Thank you xx
I had to really restrain myself from saying things like 'did you get AI to design this questionnaire?' GRANULARITY?????
Ah yes, good old granularity. A bit beanbag, a bit Clinique scruffing lotion. A little bit grit on the road, a bit sugar on the top of an eccles cake.

Thank you for helping me get this done fast!
Maggie thank you so very much for all of this. I’m going to link this on Instagram. X
Thank you Jo - the Government peeps have been glamoured by the AI vampires...
