I agree with you in the though that humans have been doing this stuff for the longest. We're sophisticated algorithms that look at the work of other people, attempt to discern what has merit, and if the stars align we might write the screenplay to the Notebook, publish Twilight, or doodle Deadpool on a napkin.

But the theft in my opinion is that a minority control this nascent tech, based on existing capital, and most of that 'venture capital bro' money funding this was made off of platforms that became wildly profitable for them from humans that were doing this. But now this is going to displace them and create no more need for them.

There'll come a day when Youtube and Tik Tok design their own 'content creators' and at that point they'll start cutting ad revenue to the people that put them in this position in the first place. Betrayal. It's like Spez calling mods entitled crybabies, once this is in full gear everyone who helped get it rolling will be cast aside like chaff and a couple dozen people will get billions of dollars out of it

So the problem is capitalism, not AI.
