How are people not seeing the other side of this.

AI gives regular people access to things in society that traditionally have been tools of the upper crust. Lower income families could use AI to develop meal planners, financial planners and even access simple medical and legal advice. It gives regular folk a pocket assistant.

I would hate to take these tools away from us because GRRM might not get his $5 because his work was 7 of the 1.3 million books among other things ingested.

AI isn't reproducing these peoples works. It is creating entirely knew things. Ingestion of information should be a right that is protected
