This is just the divide between capital and labor though, isn't it? See also: everything is a remix; great artists steal. I'm on both sides. I've contributed to open source. I use AI both in my personal projects now and to make money for my employer. I'm still not sure how I feel about any of it, but to me the bigger problem is the division between capital and labor and the growing wealth inequality divide.

> great artists steal. That quote is about inspiration, not just using others' work or style. T. S. Eliot's version from 1920 put it best imho: > Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different from that from which it was torn; the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion.
