In a discussion on why artists starve, iamtrask (OpenMined) says AI is currently going in the wrong direction and he is working hard to push it in a pro-artist direction. His framing: 'When a celebrity makes a billion dollars, a million artists lose $1000.' He adds that being pro-artist is also the pro-jobs, pro-privacy direction—'the better way.'
