This quote from the "AI-Training Lessons from Napster" article broke my mind:

“… AI is very different from historical cases of online piracy, as it creates large net benefits for society while using copyrighted works as input."

Both piracy and AI have the problem that artists aren't paid.

Piracy created the biggest media library ever seen in the history of the world, freely accessible by anyone with a connection.

What benefits has AI created compared to that? Besides a bubble?
