My brother in Christ, if you can prove you have ever had an original thought in your life, one that hasn't been influenced by something that someone said before, I'll eat all the shit. All of it. Every piece of undigested corn. I'm confident in saying that because I know you can't. We are all products of our environment, and we can all attribute every thought we've had to some experience that we've had in our life that involved others. You aren't as unique as you think you are. All the people that told you that were only trying to protect your ego. You are a combination of events that all lead up to this moment, and all of those events are open source. You don't own anything. No words. No brush strokes. No ideas. All of them come into your mind because you have experienced aspects of this world. Sure, your own combination of experiences may be unique to you, but no more than the data used to train AI. The idea that humans have some monopoly on original thought is pure hubris. We've been stealing IP since we learned to draw on cave walls.
