I have had a theory, in the light of the debates for and against copying of music over my lifetime, that there was a time, i.e. most of human history, in which a musician was paid in large measure a linear way to the number of performances he or she gave. Singing for their dinner, so to speak.

Then something happened over 100 years ago and music was able to be recorded, reproduced and sold and so it became possible for someone to be paid multiple times for a single performance, to the detriment of live musicians. I theorized that with sufficient digitization of the linguistic output of humanity by way of its news papers and other printed matter it would be possible to find these writers. I haven’t yet done the exercise that way, but as a result of a conversation with Chat, I have resurrected this bit of information, in which John Philip Sousa complains in “The menace of mechanical music” about the scourge what was recorded music.

Is there a parallel to today’s conversations about LLM output?

I had a rant a few months ago over my indistinguishable-from-AI health coach. Omitting the details, the conclusion was that if we are concerned with robots taking our jobs, it doesn’t help if we act like robots. Don’t be a robot. For a couple weeks afterwards, I’d say that as i passed the security guard in the front lobby.
