There's a few landmark lawsuits I'm patiently waiting for now that these tools have become widely available and can be used by anyone for purposes that are not not necessarily academic:

a) Artist/copyright holder suing LAION, OpenAI, StabilityAI, or other scientific/academic entity for the unlicensed inclusion of their original work in a publicly-distributed model/data set.

b) Artist/copyright holder suing someone for the use of an AI-generated image that is almost identical to their original work, and/or for using their name in the prompt that generated the image.

c) Artist/copyright holder suing someone for unlicensed use of their original work, while the defendant claims the work was created using AI and therefore is in public domain.

Anybody else have similar predictions?

Of course. Like with crypto, I can't wait to see it blow up in the face of grifters and talentless hacks.
Add a column for Copilot's generated code and you will have a nice prediction matrix.
