I can’t really imagine why AI would change my strong feeling that The Specials should be compensated despite not making a thing that is specifically at the outer bounds of creativity/innovation. Or why I would not see it as a real loss that fewer people can be so compensated now. - ThreadSky

I get that my thread here is about a separate issue, to a degree, but I think it’s relevant. I think we ought to have wide understanding of what constitutes a kind of “citation” in making art that should not trigger a compensation to the cited.

But inasmuch as this seems to revolve around a combination of knowledge and innovation/creativity, it seems like a problem that despite a long tradition of thinking about it in both theory and practice, I don’t think there’s a really satisfying account of what innovation or creativity is in art.

Yeah, when I wrote the original thread I briefly wondered whether this would apply to art or only to truth-claim kinds of discourses.

I don’t know. But I also don’t think I know for sure that originality works in a very different way in, say, fiction & music than it does in research.

Yeah, no, I also don’t. I think maybe it does operate differently, but I’m not certain of that. I can say that I enjoy more iterations of very similar art than iterations of very similar scholarship. But not in a categorical way. My guess is if there is a difference it is of degree, not kind.
