The fucking audacity to make money off of AI generated content at all is already baffling to me lmao

    Then half of the modern world is baffling to you. Do you feel the same way about coin-operated player pianos? Or kaleidoscope projectors?

    People will seek to make money from anything they can.

    You aren’t even trying. Both of your examples require human interaction and imagination at the time of creation.

    Player pianos aren’t black boxes of plagiarism and kaleidoscopes don’t show amalgams of other people’s works.
