Seth Godin on AI-generated content and improving the culture

Brilliant piece by Seth Godin reflecting about AI training on copyright works, AI-generated content, and improving the culture:

Copyright has never existed to prohibit the act of reading, viewing, or learning from existing work. Every artist learns by studying what came before. Mamet watched countless plays. Greenberg studied other photographers’ lighting. The question isn’t whether AI learned from copyrighted material – it’s whether what AI helps create diminishes the incentive for humans to create.
