How is it unethical for a machine to source many images and combine it into one different image, but when DJs and music producers sample multiple different songs and combine them into something different, it’s not? For the record, I’m against both, but just wondering why there’s so much blowback to this, but not when it happens with music.
As someone else said, they pay royalties. Secondly, because they are not costing musicians their jobs. DJs aren’t stealing artists jobs, music labels aren’t dropping musicians for DJs, and DJs are at least putting some level of effort to create something (which I will admit is debatable and the weakest argument).

Musicians pay royalties when they use samples. AI companies don’t pay artists for their work.
