The feature is part of its new Fiverr Go suite of tools, allowing creators to “train AI exclusively on their own body of work, maintaining complete control over their creative process and rights.” Freelancers can edit and set the price for their custom AI models, which are available across services like voiceovers, songwriting, graphic design, illustration, copywriting, and digital marketing.

I hate late stage capitalism and the short term financial incentive for workers and artists to make themselves obsolete

I keep saying the tech bros learned nothing from all the sci-fi they claimed to have consumed. Were they even paying attention?

I definitely doubt Elon Musk's claims of loving sci-fi. He thought Rick Deckard was named "Bladerunner."

More importantly, he claims he loves The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a blatantly anti-corporate series of novels wherein every AI is either broken, an asshole, or both.

Tech bros see dystopian sci-fi as inspiration it seems

At this point, I have a feeling they put on a sci-fi movie, start jerking off to themselves in the mirror, then turn it off when the credits roll and claim they're sci-fi fans.

I think they took it as instructions on how to be evil.
