You know that because you read it somewhere else, because someone put it online. Your brain took that as training data, and now you're regurgitating it, are you going to pay that person for the data your brain is using?
A musician is just a big neural network, and they sell content that is nothing but the product of all their influences, of all the music they listened to.
I don't see a difference between a musician making music after having listened
to thousand of hours of music throughout their lives and an AI generating music.
It's the same thing, in one case you have neurons made out of flesh, in the other neurons made of transistors and code.
It's not a person. Some people make a lot of money off of it, and they are able to do this by siphoning knowledge and effort off of millions of others.
Artists learn through blood, sweat, and tears. No artist achieves excellence without significant effort, and won't arrive until they've attempted original works many times. And they can spend their entire lives without ever finding any success or actually being particularly good. Are their outputs colored by the culture and prior art they've experienced? Absolutely. That's how learning works.
Compare that to AI. It doesn't do any actual "art" work to become an artist, nor do the people who train it, it just sucks up what's fed into it, without the consent of the creators. Then, it can create much, much faster than an artist without breaks and without pay, and it is owned and directed by a huge faceless company as, effectively, a fleet of mindless slaves, diminishing the livelihoods of the very people absolutely essential in training the model.
From a moral perspective, all you really need to ask is, would these artists have consented to this training if they knew mindless AI slaves would replace them?
