I never claimed that Gen AI has consciousness, or that what they produce has emotions behind it, so I’m not sure why you’re focusing on that.
I’m specifically talking about the argument that AI is bad because trains on copyrighted material without consent from the artist, which is functionally no different than humans doing the exact same thing.
This isn’t me defending AI, this is me saying this one specific argument against it is stupid. Because even if artificial consciousness was a thing, it would still have to be trained on the same data.

My entire post was a rebuttal of the “functionally no different than humans doing the same thing”.
Humans take inspiration and use it to express themselves uniquely, genAI just steals and replicates. They are in no way “doing the exact same thing”.
So your entire argument is semantics.
Gen AI does more than just replicating existing works. You’re not going to get the same result with the same prompt; each result will be unique.
And I’d argue that the person writing the prompt is the one providing the inspiration to get the software to express what’s in their head.
