What's funny is HN was majority OK with AirBNB "disrupting" hotels and Uber/Lyft "disrupting" taxi services by bending the rules and exploiting legal loopholes, but when AI starts "disrupting" their artwork and code by bending the rules suddenly disruption becomes a personal problem. Disrupt onward I say. Humans learn and remix from prior copyrighted work all the time using their brains (consciously chosen or not). So long as the new work is distinguishable enough to be unique there's nothing wrong with these new AI creations.
