- Technological advancements like desktop publishing and AI can 'steal' future revenue by making certain jobs obsolete.
- Theft of trust and attention is a pervasive issue in modern culture, often overlooked.
- Creators building on previous works raise complex questions about originality and intellectual property.
- The debate around AI training on copyrighted material focuses on the impact on human creativity rather than the act of learning itself.
