Hollywood's pampered elite are at it again, launching yet another virtue-signaling campaign while completely ignoring the real threats facing American creativity and innovation. Several A-list celebrities threw their weight behind the so-called "Human Artistry Campaign" on Thursday, whining about AI "stealing" their precious content while turning a blind eye to China's massive intellectual property theft and Big Tech's systematic censorship of conservative voices.
The "Stealing Isn't Innovation" initiative represents peak Hollywood hypocrisy. These are the same celebrities who spent four years attacking President Trump, pushing woke propaganda, and staying silent as Big Tech oligarchs like Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey suppressed conservative content creators and independent journalists.
Where was their outrage when YouTube demonetized conservative channels? Where were their campaigns when Twitter shadowbanned Trump supporters? Apparently, "theft" only matters when it affects their Hollywood paychecks.
Missing the Real Villains
While these celebrities clutch their pearls over AI technology – much of which is being developed by American companies and could give us a competitive edge against China – they remain conspicuously silent about the Chinese Communist Party's decades-long campaign of actual intellectual property theft that has cost American creators billions.
The timing is particularly rich, considering President Trump's second administration is laser-focused on protecting American innovation through tariffs and trade policies that actually address real threats to our creative economy.
"These Hollywood elites want to regulate American AI innovation out of existence while giving China a free pass to steal our technology and flood our markets with knockoffs," one industry insider told us.
This campaign reeks of the same anti-American sentiment that drove these celebrities to embrace every globalist cause while attacking the America First agenda that actually protects American workers and creators.
Patriots should ask themselves: Why are Hollywood celebrities more concerned about AI tools that could democratize content creation and break their monopoly on entertainment than they are about foreign adversaries actively undermining American creativity? The answer reveals everything you need to know about whose side they're really on.
