With all the hate towards J.K Rowling (deserved) and lets say Kanye West for example, you can enjoy the art but can you really separate what they create from what they say?

    I don’t know, do artists credit Hewlett Packard for the computer they used, or GIMP for the software they use? Is it normal to credit all the tools used when someone makes art?

      I know how to make a piano sound:

      • using an LLM
      • starting from a piano recording
      • subtractively synthesizing with any software
      • additively synthesizing with any software
      • or, if I wanted to spend a ridiculous amount of time, literally drawing out waveforms

      I can take that sound and arrange it:

      • with any DAW software
      • by painstakingly arranging them by audio clips
      • on paper with traditional Western notation

      The point is, the tools an artist uses are just tools for efficiency. The product is (effectively) the same. I am not reliant upon any one piece of the process except for my actual mind and body. If I go deaf, I’m in trouble. I’m not Beethoven.
