Making specific categories of work obsolete is not evil by any existing moral code I know. On top of that, history shows that humans are no less employed over the generations as we’ve automated more things. You entire comment is rooted in fear, uncertainty, and doubt. I have the opposite mindset. I love the fact that we have trained models on large corpuses of human culture. It’s beautiful and amazing. Nobody has the right to dictate how the culture they generate shall be consumed, not me, not you, and not Warhol, not Doctorow, not Lessig. Human created art always has been and will continue to be valuable. The fact that copyright is a really poor way to monetize art is not an argument that AI is evil. I support all my favorite creators on Patreon, not by buying copies of their work.
