    The people who advanced mathematical research got their glory and pride and the attention of peers. All of them get credited in the names of their own equations and theorems. Also, they all got paid.

    If the company is atleast somewhat creditable, it’s easier for them to license code properly. Besides, many open source code are licensed under MIT which permits fair use.

    You never get the name of artist from the generated piece, even if it’s a one-to-one copy of their art.

      I’ll pause you right there - I am a mathematical researcher by trade. We don’t get paid, or glory, pride or much attention XD

      Trust me when I say, unlike in art, the folks who put in the legwork in mathematics tend to toil in obscurity. We don’t much mind it, the pay isn’t great but it does pay the bills.

      I’ll leave this thread with a thought - since I think we’re a little too far apart on opinion to bridge the gap. All fields require creativity, not all forms of creativity are equally rewarded, and therein lies the true root of the AI crisis.
