Plagiarism vs. Inspiration

Not quite yet, no. But I think the demand for ethical AI will be strong depending on if that can be achieved and if people do not first see their job being taken by it.

I don’t think so, considering:

1) many AI developing companies are fighting against compensating copyright holders for AI scraping because it “would bankrupt them”, and some have already paid big settlements, I don’t think so (like Anthropic’s $1.5B agreement).

2) many of the highest profile people against compensation of copyright holders are wealthy, powerful people who have already (often repeatedly) demonstrated behaviors that would charitably be called amoral, egocentric and anti-social, especially those subscribing to the “move fast; break stuff” ethos.
