@molly0xfff something that we’re just going to have to get over, collectively: all content is derivative. The process of that derivation might be very complex, but whether it happens in meatspace or on a bunch of gpu’s isn’t particularly important.

I don't think that's the same. Machine Learning (this is not intelligent in any way), remixes existing stuff, with no originality of its own. ML adds nothing. It can only mimic. A human creator takes inspiration from others, certainly, but the synthesis of those inspiration still involves creativity. Something new is being created. (This idea is mostly based on parts of Patrick H. Willems' "A.I. Filmmaking Is Not The Future. It's a Grift.")
