If a person can read it for free,  then so should AI.   Just because people can't regurgitate it, doesn't mean that since AI can it somehow should be prevented.

Anyone can be influenced by images, sound, text.  So let AI do so.

If AI "copies" like a human, than sue the owners of the AI like a human.   Fair use still applies.   Sell it for profit, get sued.

No shields are needed.  No restricting laws.

Maybe the problem will be AI can flood the world with "inspirations" and derivatives works, thus diluting a unique artists style or technique?  That's probably an infringement.  

Force credit where credit is due.  Maybe that's the only law needed.  Credit to human artists when AI is trained on them.

When AI generate something original, I'll be interested.  Otherwise, AI is just a copying app.

Financial expert Clark Howard refers to Wells Fargo as "a criminal enterprise impersonating a bank." And still after how many years and how much in fines does WF continue its nefarious ways??

I think Clark Howard may be on to something, which he often is. WF seems to accumulate a lot of frequent flier miles when it comes to having to answer to authorities for one financial misdeed or another.

This begs the question: How do I quickly flag a song on my iPhone or iPad so I can dig into other songs from the same artist? I can select "Show song in Apple Music" on my Mac, but I haven't figured how to do the same thing on other platforms.

Tap Three dots, choose Show Album. From there you can get to the rest of the Artist’s material.

So far (2 minutes!) I’ve not had your positive experience. I’ve not liked the 3 things it’s pushed (from artists I know of, but don’t really like). Counter to your experience, I find the My Station, often inserts unknown stuff that I like… Go figure!

Thanks. 

I only commented on the Discovery Station. For me it inserts unknown music that I generally like, but not in every single case, and it also inserts known music that is already in my music library, which I obviously like already. My point is that the "discovery" seems to be more geared towards reinforcing more variety into genres you already like, based on what is already in your library, as opposed to finding things that aren't as closely adjacent to what you've already committed to by virtue of what you already have in your library.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting that I want Discovery Station to throw in a heavy metal track when it "thinks" I prefer, for example, traditional bluegrass. That would be pretty harsh and something I would want to "discover" all on my own. I'm more thinking along the lines of bringing in earlier or later work by an artist I already follow, or work that an artist did with another band or as a studio musician for a different artist, or in a different genre, for example, Duane Allman or Jimmy Page. 

Microsoft under its current leader has been steadily sloughing off the baggage and detritus left behind by its former leaders so they can focus on the things that have more upside potential going forward. This is no different than what Steve Jobs did when he returned to Apple. Focusing on what matters and what makes a difference is called “being smart.”

Ironically I’ve lately been forcing myself to use Stage Manager on my devices because of all the hoopla surrounding its availability. So far I don’t really see it as an improvement at all, but that’s because of the way I use my devices and computers.
