Who do you think will be doing this treatment?

We think you’re gonna love it.

No reason this would be mutually exclusive.

Yeah but that’s damage to artists. AI music gives Spotify something to put into a playlist that they don’t have to pay even their meagre rate to.

How is paying a robot money in any way equivalent to paying a government to maintain society?

With that definition you’d have a hard time finding any post on here that isn’t an ad.

Only with all other art till now most every element is a conscious decision by the artist with intent. Most AI “artists” don’t have a clue what’s actually in their “own” images. Any emotional reaction is a byproduct of the training data (which was created largely by real artists with intent). In which cases the audience would likely understand the history and context of a piece better than the person who typed the prompt. This is nothing at all like other technical developments even though they did indeed see pushback.
