Love this take

I feel like AI has forced us to face this

No one person or entity is the sole author, creator or owner of anything

Everything is a mix of previous things

And we are constantly re-creating previous concepts in different ways

> Everything is a mix of previous things

"There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages."
