you are saying this like the music indistry weren’t about resampling/remixing/rethinking existing songs/melodies/phrases already. it always was. and that’s fine! people always gets down to the source if they hear something fancy.

I can’t image people always get to the source as my understanding most music does not has attribution of significant portions copied.

I can’t imagine…
well yeah, there’s a lot of things I can’t imagine either, the world is a strange place

Indeed, but without reason to change my mind it will remain the same.

The capitalist mindset really is a weird one, rent seeking is out of control. We’re talking about a tool that allows independent creators and hobby users to improve the quality of their projects but all you can think about is the possibility of getting a couple of dollars in royalties.
Regular users being able to use advanced noise reduction allows regular people to better compete with corporations, it’s the sort of technology which can help displace the monopolies which rule the world. But you’re against it because they didn’t give you 6 cents for listening to your cover version of country roads

Consider there is nuance here. I write code and want people to use it but only if they follow the license that means they must share it with others. I liked the idea of AI creating art for me until I considered the tool’s method of creation and the negative effect taking from artists may have.
I suggest supporting independent creators directly instead.

Completely agree, but one thing:
These monopolies are a social/legal problem. It can’t be solved with technology. The increased FTC action in the US under the Biden administration are really a hopeful sign.
I am worried about the number of people who want to go in the opposite direction, which “ethically sourced” is simply code for.
