You can't attack other users like this, no matter how right you are or feel you are, nor how justified or strongly you feel. Preserving a container for respectful interaction here is more important, and we need commenters to contribute to that, not destroy it. If you would please review https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and not post like this again, we would appreciate it.

Edit: as your most recent comments have all been breaking the site guidelines in a similar way, I've banned this account. It's not ok to do that here.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future.

I understand your frustration, but I don't agree with the sentiment that AI-training should not be allowed without compensation.

If I learn to draw, make music, build stuff, etc. I look at what others have done before me. I don't pay anyone either. Why should the AI?

  • I think devil's advocate would say because using the AI is more like Ctrl+C Ctrl+V whereas if you learn it yourself it's original. Not saying I agree, but.

  • Because you as an individual aren't a multi billion dollar company doing the same in all fields at scale. They are walling profiting from any intellectual work.

First, starting off with “as a <insert self aggrandising title>…” already makes you ineligible to emit an opinion on any given subject.

Second, rude.

Third, you might want to check with a professional, but it seems to me you are projecting your own (fairly obvious, and loud) insecurities onto others; I’m sorry that you feel you’re not good enough at music.
