@ajroach42@retro.social Essentially agreed. Gen. AI is, at base, a thief; or I should say that the companies who programmed the AI are pirates, more or less. They have committed piracy against creators on a mass scale, then when stuff is made by rehashing an amalgam of pirated works, suddenly it's all copyrighted intellectual property belonging to who? Belonging to the company or the person who used the AI to make the thing? Everyone is broke nowadays, I understand not being able to afford musicians and artists, but there are other virtual tools. There was garage band, or just a DAW and an electronic keyboard. AI takes less time, it's convenient, and it's even cheaper than a keyboard and some software, but who really owns AI content? Do we want to live in a world filled with AI music, or music made by people? I would prefer hearing some tracks made by a lazy person randomly hitting keys on a synthesizer, to AI stuff, personally.
