Are you sure that Disney and Games Workshop will not mind if make your own Mickey Mouse / Warhammer 40K cross-over movie for profit? (I would watch it!)

AI can help generate it, so it must be okay.

Those are protected by trademark law which will still be strong in a post AI world. I'm sure those companies will be making massive use of AI to speed up content production.
You previously stated "The tools are too useful to cripple with restrictive laws written for a previous era." and also "Those are protected by trademark law which will still be strong in a post AI world."

So do you believe in legal protections for trademarked and copyrighted works or not?

If an AI assistant generates content that includes copyrighted or trademarked elements is the content "too useful to be crippled by restrictive laws" or "protected by laws which will still be strong" ?
