Just let my work have a soul, please.

That is NOT possible.

  • Why not?

    • Because even though at work it looks like you’re tasked with creating use values, you’re only there as long as the use values you create can be exchanged in the market for a profit. So every humane drive to genuinely improve your work will clash with the external conditions of your existence within that setting. You’re not there to serve people, create beautiful things, solve problems, nu-uh. You’re there to keep capital flowing. It’s soulless.

Eh, it's not __that__ simple.

  • It is, just don’t use a thing with no soul like ai if soul is what you’re after.

    • The point is that he may not using AI in any shape or form, Regardless, AI scrapes its work without explicit consent and then spits it back in "polished" soul free form.
