ill never understand why some leftists simp for a big tech technology that is ran by billionaires and based on stolen data from random internet users, and stolen art from artists (yes, the majority of artists barely earn anything and many are struggling to make ends meet and yes this hurts them too), and which drives an increasing amount of people to unemployment because there's no replacement jobs and the speed at which this is progressing is way above what it should be.

thought we were supposed to be for full employment?

just being against AI slop doesn't make someone one of those (fully) anti AI lunatics. obviously there's good uses for AI but there's absolutely no valid use for the AI image generation of chatgpt or whatever the fuck the flavour of diarrhea of the month is. use of other LLMs is acceptable in some scenarios but should be used carefully cus it can end up in a disaster real easy if nobody's holding their foot on the brake for when shit starts going downhill

Do you think the same applies to sample based music?

The counter-argument to this from a leftist pov is that LLMs are just a tool and its the relationship of production that is the issue here - if LLMs just meant people kept the same jobs they had but now they had more time off I doubt anyone would have an issue with it at all.

no, because those samples are used to create something completely different

if the samples were being used to create the same song or basically the same song with essentially nothing changed i'd have a problem with it
