What is the alternative though? I agree with the feelings and sentiments of the anti-ai people that want it to pay copyright, but I never hear any considerations for what comes next.

This is going to end up being the music industry all over again. It's going to be impossible for any individuals or small companies to get the rights needed, and instead were going to get massive content labels selling the rights, or only giant corporations being able to hop through all these new hoops.

We don't want a repeat of that as a society, creating yet another leeching middleman and horrible industry favoring only the incumbents.

I don’t see it ending like that. LLMs will just be taught not to emit copyrighted content verbatim. Whatever the courts end up deciding, they’ll be trained to stay just this side of legal. I’m certain it’s already being worked on.
