A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

But every human activity desirable to others deserve compensation. If you want someone to do something for you or make something for you or entertain you then it deserves compensation. The way ads on the internet have trained a lot of people to think that a lot of entertainment et cetera on the internet is free has been a negative for this. But at the same time that ad-supported model does make it more available to people that otherwise couldn't afford the price of admission. It's partly democratizing, but it's also a scourge.
Even if that were true it wouldn't apply to this situation. The man wants monopoly rights to his art style. That's insane.
Has he said that no other humans could be inspired by his art style? If no then he hasn't expressed a want for monopoly rights to his art style. But he has expressed that he doesn't want computers to generate art explicitly to mimic his art style.
Also don't make claims that are totally disconnected from the argument discussed. It's dishonest discourse and serves as a way to brush aside the other argument. You didn't make any counterargument to my argument and the point of this chain which came from you saying that "Not every human activity deserves compensation" as a reply to someone saying "Greg wants to get paid, remove the threat of poverty from the loss of control and its [sic] a nonissue."
Your reply to me was inane.
