> Rather than "pleading" for them to stop, wouldn't she have more success going after the ai content creation companies via legal process?
But that shouldn’t be the first step. Telling your fellow man “what you are doing is bothering me, please stop” is significantly simpler, faster, and cheaper than contacting lawyers and preparing for a possibly multi-year case where all the while you’ll have to be reminded and confronted with the very thing you don’t want to deal with.
If asking doesn’t work, then think of other solutions.
You can't tell everyone. Barely anyone will know of this being published. And then there will be lots of people thinking "whatever, I don't care". And a not insignificant number of people thinking "lol, time to organise a group of people who will send Robin Williams creepy genAI to her every day!"
Asking solves it for you, biting the hand makes them think twice about doing it to others, but good luck doing that to the many-headed serpent of the internet.
I don't know. I mean, things could have gone very differently (in a better or worse way) and the world may be unrecognizable today if certain key events did not happen.
Like if nothing sparked the World Wars (conversely: or if Hitler won). Or Greece harnessed steam or electricity to spur an industrial revolution 2200 years ago. Or if Christianity etc. never caught on.

It's not because just telling people on the internet to stop doing something doesn't actually stop them from doing it. This is basic internet 101, streissand effect at full power
