This is like saying that my brain violates copyright when I write sci-fi because one time, years ago, I watched Star Wars.

Creative people will be using LLMs and other models as new and exciting creative tools.

Their real enemies will be the people who make money off the creative people’s work, e.g. the entire history of recorded music or the current writers strike.

Unless the financial benefit could be shared with the original authors somehow, with some kind of royalties system?

I love how "creatives" enjoy the freedom of the free internet but never try to shame their peers as to whether they use GPL or MIT license for their art.

I think the more matter of fact the influence, the more the original artist deserves compensation. See Waits v. Frito-Lay, Inc.

I do not not want something like this to happen to generative AI and make things more difficult for the technology to progress and flourish.
