I want to fundamentally differentiate between AI and Humans. A machine cannot feel emotions, a machine isn’t bound to the very natural struggles of a biological meaning. Therefore, an AI cannot create what I would call art. A machine, like AI, is very much intended to efficiently prosuce large quantities of something. The profit Motive is therefore deeply engrained in their existence – unlike an artist, who primarily expresses themselves.

In the case of a machine, I definitely think that royalties are justified, because it cannot create new, it can only recreate.
