Someone already made an app with the same idea 10+ years ago, and they’re still maintaining that, for free:

Would doctors weep if cancer is cured by AI?

I deeply understand the sentiment, that’s just human.

But in the grander scheme of things, it doesn’t matter who solved it, speaking for the benefit of humanity as a whole for a longer timespan than our short lives.

As long as those who have studied and contributed are acknowledged properly, I’m happy to let AI solve decades long scientific problems.

Wrong metaphor, because making a pizza involves other people.

A better metaphor would be:

A photocopier won’t copy documents by itself. If someone uses a machine to make a copy, they still made that exact copy. Whether that copy constitutes copyright infringement is a separate question.

Authorship still belongs to the user for AI outputs; their originality is debatable, though. These are two distinct concepts that people easily confuse.

Again, apply this reasoning to illegal AI-generated content: if humans are responsible for AI outputs, then they also have authorship of those outputs.

You’re denying another human’s authorship simply because they use a different tool from you.

Another angle you might argue is that you aren’t really “making” something unless you craft it directly. But then what about film directors, architects, or CEOs? Did they really make anything?

Again, you’re denying the role of human intention by gatekeeping the idea of “making” behind direct craft. That’s fine, but it’s a limited worldview.

Honestly I don’t expect these kind of low quality comment in HN. Where’s your thinking?

If someone used AI and created something illegal(deepfake or whatever), can they claim it’s not their creation?

A mathematician working for the competitor, solving a math problem using our model? Isn’t that the best marketing possible?

The AI aesthetic, is really just intensified and overused human aesthetic. Because it’s trained on our work. It’s easy to say AI this AI that, but we have too much pride to admit AI is the child inheriting average quality of human labor, often mediocre at times.

I think the rate of us seeing new stuff churning out everyday has actually lowered our sensitivity of nice things, even it’s entirely made by humans. I don’t quite get that sense of awe looking at new websites nowadays even it’s objectively well made and non-AI style. I hope this feeling won’t creep into other fields like books movies or even art.
