Are you saying that people who are affected by the AI's impact on their income/wealth are the least qualified to be concerned about it?

- gloxkiqcza 1y agoAI is a tool. Just like with a drum machine or a DAW, you need to be a musician to be able to use it to create something worthwhile. And just like sampling, drum machines and DJing didn’t kill acoustic music, AI won’t either. It will merely create a new type of music that will coexist along with all of the other types of music just fine. AI just raises the level of abstraction and therefore the capabilities of an individual.

- etblg 1y agoSince you brought up sampling in music and I feel compelled to point this out in any AI thread when that gets mentioned: sampling machines don't give you a free pass to sample music all willy nilly, if you're going to publish the result for commercial gain you have to clear the sample, the original artist is getting royalties from it. This is something that was fought for and won by musicians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Upright_Music,_Ltd._v._Warner_Bros._Records_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Upright_Music,_Ltd._v._W.... (Not that you implied otherwise, I just want to point that out)
- gloxkiqcza 1y agoThanks for pointing that out, I actually didn’t know that! It is very relevant, although it doesn’t affect my core message. Let’s see what the future holds.
