The people who made calculators didn't steal anything from mathematicians in order to make them work.

    "If you facilitate AI art, you are a shitty person"

    There are ethical means to build models using consentually gathered data. He says those artists are shitty.

    Now you're moving the goalpost. You said told always replace humans and made the analogy to calculators and refrigerators. The fact is that the cast majority of generative AI in use today didn't get their content ethically.

    Didn't they? Did they get consent from the mathematicians to use their work?

    I think the fact that AI sucks ass at even the most basic math proves that the difference between discovery and creation is, indeed, not arbitrary.

    Unless you are the kind of person to use AI to do math, then yeah I can see how it can look that way.
