By that argument, why should any musician get anything? They're not paying royalties to the musicians who they listened to in the past and whose songs they trained on while they learned to play. An LLM can be a tool to make music. So is a synthesizer. So is a drum machine. So is a drum set. So is a piano. So is a guitar. Should everyone who used an 808 or autotune or amplifier distortion have their music be demonetized? Or is the line on acceptable new technology drawn at exactly the moment you became an adult? |

This is a nonsense argument. The drum, the synthesiser, piano and guitar exists without the need for millions of other peoples music to exist first.
The AI model cannot exist without being fed with other people's music.

The argument is not "we should demonetise new technology", it's "this new technology cannot exist without existing art".
If you can create an AI that does not need to slurp up existing art (possible), then sure, you'd have a point. All you have now is a strawman.
