What's going on everybody. Welcome to another Saturday Conundrum. I'm Brian, one of the co-hosts of The Daily Eye Show. Appreciate you being here. This Saturday's conundrum was actually inspired by a conversation we had on the show. myself, Andy, and Carl last Thursday. And we were just talking about contributions and who gets credit for some of the things in AI.
Towards the end of the show, I was talking about a really, really good AI remix of a lot of songs. But the one I was showing was Gangster's Paradise from Coolio. And it was like a soul remix of it. And it was just really, really well done. And the same creator on TikTok had done many of these. And they're just really impressive. I would
I would easily listen to these in the car and have listened to them in the car. But obviously, those are remixes created on the backs of other work, not to mention whatever AI tools that were used, you know, Suno or Udio or others. So the question came up again and again, like, who gets credit?
And the faster AI moves, the murkier those waters really become because it's pieces and parts and fractions of you know, whatever inspired the model, which then in turn inspired the person and The reality is can you really even track back and give proper credit where credit is due? And I don't know the answer to that. So this conundrum is really just talking about a future.
Obviously a lot of these are about either the future or near future where, you know, people really have to kind of figure out what matters to them. You know, does it matter to track down every single piece of credit and try to make sure that people are, you know, highlighted when they had clearly had something to do with, something that was produced by AI?
Or are we a society that's gonna decide that we like the pace of AI and that if some people get left in the dust or don't perhaps get proper credit through history, well, then that's just part of the situation. And again, both have their points. So that's the whole point of a conundrum, right? Is to discuss and debate both sides of it.
So I'm gonna go ahead and set this up and then we'll get right into our two AI co-hosts. We're gonna talk all about this. Most creative work in the future will still have clear owners. Novels will still have authors. Films will still credit directors. Inventions will still file patents. But beneath all of that, AI models will quietly borrow from sources no one meant to ever share.
A breakthrough insight might rely on the phrasing of a stranger's blog post. A melody might carry the echo of a musician who never earned a cent. A business idea might be guided by patterns learned from millions of people who never knew they were part of the training. We already see hints of this today.
People enjoy the speed, precision, and intelligence of modern AI systems, even when it's obvious that the work was shaped by countless unseen contributors. Society has a long history of accepting benefits without looking too closely at what it costs others. The saying about not wanting to know how the sausage is made has never felt more relevant. AI pushes that dilemma forward.
