An absolute insane take that I'm not convinced isn't astroturfing. When I download an mp3 of Metallica it's a massive crime but when ai does it millions of times it's just "learning".
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.

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?
