re: #253 The Ghost of a Flea

If you can only build an art AI by scraping the work of artists uncompensated, that’s not democratization.

If you can only build an AI that makes pharmaceutical discoveries by scraping the work of scientists and researchers uncompensated is that shoddy? It is called learning and if the AI is making derivative works based on things it has learned and not just copying things then to me it is no different than a person being inspired by music they hear. Now if it is just copying that is a different story.
