> That said, there are more great books than I could read in 100 life times published before 2020, so I doubt this will be an issue for me personally in practice

I spam this fact whenever someone makes arguments against piracy. I am utterly fine if no new culture is produced, as there already exists more than I could ever enjoy. Besides, creatives will create (with lowered production values) regardless of money. It’s a primal drive for them.

Although, I would be a little upset if they stopped making high-budget binge-worthy series.

Then again... What the hell do I care if it's made by AI? Especially if they use one of those preference-based RLHF and penalize the model against episodes where the series lost all its viewers.

The same can be said for most code. It isn’t improving quality of life for most people. Like I really need another todo app. Let all the programmers live on scraps. It’s a primal drive for them. /s
