This is the thing I really don't understand about the AI crowd. I would be so much more supportive of companies like openai if they they were pursuing the automation of the dull tasks nobody wants to do, rather than flagrantly breaking copyright laws (the same ones that have been weaponised against normal folks) to create a pale imitation of human creativity.

Like, shit. I want a machine that will do my taxes and fold my laundry so that I have more time to pursue artistic endeavors.

The thing is - it's not hard to automate boring repetitive tasks, and we have been doing it for decades really effectively.

But we can't have people have free time and no worries, right?
