I have artist friends - asking AI to draw something similar to subjects they've drawn ends up making, line for line, the exact image they created, hallucinated alongside a couple others. They spent decades getting good at their craft. They spent so many years getting paying patrons and customers to commission them.
You'll never agree but I think you underestimate how many people consider all that the AI companies have done to be the wealthy stealing and selling things back.
> nor are the people involved selling it back in any form
I am convinced that the longer one works in AI the less one has any grasp on reality

Its the most expensive buildout in human history - you can't just split half the cost. The spending is the only significant growth in the US economy. Unless you think that all the datacenters and all that capex are for training?
I have horse & wagon friends - they spent decades understanding the ins and outs of roads, some of them also creatively made up their own routes and roads.
However ordering a car with Uber through your phone just gets people to the destination faster, cheaper, more comfortably and reliably using those same roads.
This is theft I made up the route first >:(
Yknow, I guess you’re right, human creativity really has no place in your world.
