I presume you alluding to the fact that, without pre-existing human creation, tools like Midjourney or Chat-GPT and their output are not possible, so the original authors rightfully deserve compensation. But artificial intelligence is much more than artistic or text authorship. It will replace most service workers, most agricultural workers, drivers, doctors, vast segments of society become redundant in the next century. If you could press a button and duplicate the garment made by a Luddite at zero cost, would you consider that machine "stealing"? Should we smash that machine, or should we rather develop a new social contract aware of its existence and power?

> Midjourney or Chat-GPT and their output are not possible Precisely. > But artificial intelligence is much more than artistic or text authorship. Correct. But that type of AI takes time to develop. Time we can use to adjust to the changes it brings. ChatGPT, Midjourney, and similar, have developed fast because they are essentially stolen goods resold. > Should we smash that machine, or should we rather develop a new social contract aware of its existence and power? As with any tech, we will develop new social contracts and work patterns. Sociopaths want to build tools that completely obliterate industries through theft of people's intellectual property. Those are what's detrimental to society. Everything else is beneficial, and we will change our patterns of behaviour. Computers were meant to eliminate accountants, architects, graphic designers, etc. but we have ever more accountants, architects and graphic designers. Also if everyone is able to use said ai, then everyone is at the same level, meaning we need to figure out ways to get ahead, and for that we need people. This whole madness that society will end is solely based on the idea that we will steal what they built so far and resell it. We need to push these thieves back to the sewers where they belong.
