@jannem IDK, the writing is quite meandering, jumping from one weak point to another. Yes, we have 8bn neural networks, but the amount of recognized artists is miniscule. The amount of new art is just very very very low and AI learning on it has nothing to do with it. Let the corporations gobble genai and choke on the slop they consume.
The world is far from being perfect, sure. But "GenAI is the culprit" is leashing the sea instead of actually addressing the issues.
