There is a Mastodon instance that publishes content from its own PeerTube instance. These contents are narrated aloud, likely by an AI, in several languages, and are based on articles that appear online. Today this happened with an article I shared from my blog.
The problem is that there is no attribution to the original author and or the original source site. On the contrary, it gives the impression that the content was produced directly by whoever runs that site or instance.
This is completely detached from the idea of properly sharing information. Taking inspiration is a wonderful thing. Claiming someone else’s work as your own is not.
I contacted the account in question this morning. I have not received any reply, even though other content has been published in the meantime. A short while ago I also contacted the instance administrator.
I will wait until tomorrow morning. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will publicly disclose the instance and the related content and block the entire domain. There are additional details that I prefer not to reveal at this time which further worsen the situation.
This is not how we act in the Fediverse.
In the Fediverse we respect one another.
Let us avoid bringing improper practices here. You are free to use my posts as you wish. You can even make money by applying my advice.
Just do not take away my attribution. -

Just do not take away my attribution.@stefano I recall VWestlife got similarly hit with a bunch of YouTube channels a couple months ago that were mass uploading AI-generated summaries of his and other people's videos without permission (the videos themselves were just a static thumbnail image and title caption from the original video, with an AI voice reading out the AI-generated summary). He had to file copyright takedown requests to get them removed since there were no human owners to contact.

@Quinn9282 I think it may be something similar...

Just do not take away my attribution.This was the NetBSD story, right? I saw the story too (using the same image as yours), and found it weird.

@stefano I love it as a goal, but I can't respect the tankies, the antisemites, and the other bugbears of the left

Just do not take away my attribution.Not only unethical and AI-ick, it's copyright infringement. Every author/site of an article they've done this with has a case to complain here.
It should be able to get this account booted from its instance on this alone.

Just do not take away my attribution.@stefano Take this kind of behaviour DOWN. We need to sink this bot trash down below the gutter!
We defend ourselves. Not anyone else.

Just do not take away my attribution.@stefano That’s foul play. If it’s easily doable, maybe put up an, um, “special” blog, specifically for this domain? One that it would probably not like being read aloud? Because I assume that the nonconsensual harvesting is done automatically.
