| Do you believe that music made from samples is not original? |

| Most of the courts don’t think they are. Early rap beats used lots of samples. Some of the most popular hip hop songs made $0 for the artists as they had to pay royalties on those samples. |

| I could see that remixes are partially original. But you're not even doing the remixing; the LLMs are. |

Text rather than music, but same argument applies: Based on what I've seen Charlie Stross blog on the topic of why he doesn't self publish/the value-add of a publisher, any creativity on the part of the prompter* of an LLM is analogous to the creativity on the part of a publisher, not on the part of an author. * at least for users who don't just use AI output to get past writer's block; there's lots of different ways to use AI |
