Comment on Generative AI's end-run around copyright won't be resolved by the courts

Comments

I find the inverse question much more interesting. The whole point of the copyright act was to advance the "useful arts and sciences", by giving them a temporary monopoly right. Now the question is what's the point of copyright if we have a machine that can generate infinite art at near 0 cost. Copyright isn't there to feed artists for the sake of it.

Sadly there are some powerful players with a vested interest in making sure copyright doesn't "regress". Will be interesting to see how it all develops, but one can dream
