Why are you complaining? You already took the stance that it's okay to generate art from other people's works if it benefits you personally. But when it happens to affect you, suddenly it's not okay, right? I really hope you'll take the time to self reflect and recognize your hypocrisy.

I’m not against AI. I’m against YouTube using it to avoid paying the same artists whose work already lives on their platform. That’s a conversation about profit models and ethics, not permission or purity tests. If you can’t see the difference, maybe you need some reflection.

There’s no hypocrisy here, just misdirection on your part. You’re reframing my critique of YouTube’s monetization strategy as personal hypocrisy, completely dodging the fact that I’m calling out a corporation’s exploitation of artists, not the concept of AI music itself.
