Since you brought up sampling in music and I feel compelled to point this out in any AI thread when that gets mentioned:

sampling machines don't give you a free pass to sample music all willy nilly, if you're going to publish the result for commercial gain you have to clear the sample, the original artist is getting royalties from it. This is something that was fought for and won by musicians: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Upright_Music,_Ltd._v._W....

(Not that you implied otherwise, I just want to point that out)

Thanks for pointing that out, I actually didn’t know that! It is very relevant, although it doesn’t affect my core message. Let’s see what the future holds.
