FWIW, Gabe’s argument isn’t against subscriptions. The point in that quote is that legal access to content curbs piracy. Piracy will of course always exist, but there’s also customers that are willing to pay if is convenient and accessible.
Why is that crazy? If I loan the bank money and they make money on my loan I should get paid for it.

That's an interesting question. I haven't spent very much time thinking about how to define AI art. My immediate thought is that AI art can be OC, but it should also be labeled as such. It's important to know if a person created the content vs prompting an AI to generate the content. The closest example I can think of is asking someone to paint something for you instead of painting it yourself.

While not the purpose of this community, make sure you go into your lemmy settings and have any languages you want enabled. The UI isn't very clear so also make sure "undetermined" is selected along any other languages you'd like to see.
