One last AI/ML thing from me, and then I'll put this topic down for a while.

Businesses are training large models on the work of artists without their permission so that their work can be automatically remixed at scale to provide a service.

This is very different from artists learning, sharing, and inspiring each other through the generations.

One is an ongoing heirloom project. The other is a short-term grift that threatens to undermine the very thing it is attempting to extract value from.
