I've seen a rise in Albanian businesses using AI trained on stolen creative works for generating their signs, ads, YouTube, infographics...
As I looked at an Uncanny Valley-dwelling graphic of an anthropomorphized potato wearing a chef's hat, another shitty thing about AI use hit me:
The majority of what AI stole from did not including Albanian creative works. So not only is it this shitty slop created from grand theft autocorrect, but it helps erase any Albanian-ness from these businesses.
