I think it’s not controversial to say content creators need to get paid for the content they create. But I think we need to find a way to do that while adapting to this new era of AI.

By making people building AI models to pay their fair share.
Considering that they are developing something that will be taking away future profits from existing (and future) creators, they must pay proportionate licensing fees. If their business model cants sustain the payment of their licensing fees, they do not have a sustainable model. In which case they can GAGTGF.

It’s similar to how music went from people buying albums to listening on iPods and phones. You can’t fight the tide, and if you’re not in their proposing solutions, you’ll have to live with someone else’s solution. Streaming (in its current form) isn’t great for artists, but the industry dragged it’s heals for so long they were left with no other choice.

The other choices are to buy albums from record stores, or acquire digital music from the High Seas.
iTunes and Apple Music is still one of the lowest-friction ways to purchase music; while downloaded Apple Music has DRM, iTunes Purchases don’t.
I have a playlist in iTunes of Apple Music that I want to buy. When I do have some disposable money, I purchase it. I then make sure it is downloaded to a computer so it is backed up in case that record label has a dispute with Apple. Burning to CD is a waste of plastic.
