>>Spotify's problem is it has to pay out ~80% of revenue to rightsholders, so Apple's 15% take doesn't leave you with a viable business.
Any payment fees would be subtracted before the payout to the rights holders, they pay based on NET revenue not gross revenue [1]

- raincole 3y agoInterestingly the GP's theory sounds 100% plausible if you don't know the difference between net revenue and gross revenue. Humans are really very similar to LLMs...
- jkaplowitz 3y ago> Humans are really very similar to LLMs... So true. I was actually once accused on Reddit of using ChatGPT to write a comment that I genuinely wrote myself, by a person who (if I recall correctly) didn’t like the substance of what I was saying. It was a long detailed response with multiple paragraphs and proper usage of words like “However”. Yes, a LLM may write similarly to people who have lots of experience reading and writing formal written English, including academic and legal writing. At least my example was purely a harmless Reddit accusation. I really feel bad for the people who write essays in school that the teacher incorrectly rejects and reports as AI-written because the teacher misunderstands the limitations of AI detectors and the meaning of their output. (Of course, this is a separate question from students who genuinely try to pass off AI-written work as their own.)
