> 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.

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.

> Or is the line on acceptable new technology drawn at exactly the moment you became an adult?

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.
