"I claim this art was made by this person" "Who?" <gives name> "OK <name>. did you work on this?" "Where are related work products? Are there any? What about invoices? Simultaneous employment?"

The reality is that most legal things are determined by _convincing people of a truth_. Perhaps you can set up a whole scheme to "launder" AI art and attach names to them. And all the papertrail you generate doing this will show up in discovery in some lawsuit and the copyrights all disappear.

Laws are vibes, not code.

The way that AI will be laundered into art is by including it into things like Photoshop. There'll still be a human touch just with "smart brushes" and "smart auto fill" that paints 90% of what you want.

Art will then take less skill to produce, and be produced faster for lower prices.

An 80% price reduction on art (because artists can now produce it 5 times faster thanks to AI) is 80% as good as getting it for free.

Art will take more skill to produce, not less, at faster speed by select artists. GenAI will become another tool that artists and clients alike must understand and use effectively within unspoken guild rules, that is, if it stays.
