This has got to be a new type of mental health disorder - comparing human ability to that of a machine. What you are missing is that you are ignoring the fact that a machine simply does not compare to a human, neither in “rights” (it has none) nor in capability, and ignoring that there are restriction in what humans are permitted to do with other human’s work. Otherwise since machines have memory just as humans do we’d simply be allowed to download movies. Since machines can memorise just like humans do. This type of logic is comparable to that of conspiracy theorists in terms of sophistication.

I'm not missing that at all.

Put another way, if I create a Rube Goldberg painting machine, what copyright law applies? Why is that different than if I create/train/prompt an AI to do the work? One is physical, one is digital, but both require a human to create and initiate. And in both cases, every decision that human makes is made based on their life's experiences. No art exists in a vacuum. All art is derivative.

Let’s try something radical: not putting it any way.

A machine has no rights, and it doesnt learn as humans do.

I know the cult leader, altman, wants you to think otherwise, but no, stealing people’s work to make ai viable is not OK.

Nah, Altman doesn't really want you think machines are like humans and have rights either, because if the law thought that, it would also think Altman was aspiring to be the greatest slaver in all of history.

> the greatest slaver

Once he manages to replace y'all with ai, what do you think you will become?
