Quote: "Whoever recites another's compositions, and seeks for fame, must buy, not a book, but the author's silence."
Comment: I think that the Epigram about plagiarism could have some really interesting applications to AI usage and how artists and writers have their work taken without consent in order to train models. I also think it's really great to see such an overt sense of humor in ancient writing, as I feel like it's been uncommon and/or more subtle in the texts I've read from this era.
Question: (Connected to first comment) What similarities do you see between the type of plagiarism described by Martial and AI use?
