I seriously don't understand why everyone is scrambling to cripple AI in an effort to maintain human copyright bs. Do you think upcoming AI models from countries like China are going to care about whether or not it learns from copyrighted, or even illegally obtained data? No, which means that their AI systems will be much more capable than ours. We will be left in the dust because everyone is too worries about losing credit or not getting paid.

Same thing with OSS licensing. Once you publicly release your code onto the internet, it is out there permanently. Anybody can read it, learn from it, and copy or reproduce it, regardless of whether or not the original developer wants them to. Any copyright or licensing issues are enforced by human laws, only relevant if you live in the country that the laws apply. So again you have companies in places like China who take OSS projects and use the code, and there is not a damn thing anybody can do about it.

When someone goes on deviantart and the like, they want to see art produced by people, not to have to wade through oceans of AI-generated pigswill before reaching the flesh-and-blood person.

In my mind, art is meant to have at least some amount of communication between artist and viewer; no one is communicating anything by typing "trending on artstation" into midjourney then heading off to lunch while it spits out a thousand images.

"Some people break laws so laws are pointless"

And why is beating China more important that upholding certain ideals?
