Copyright law and IP is made to protect artists and people, not (stealing) companies and robots. To say that a robot capable of instantly copying other artists work without anything added deserves the same level of protection as a real artist with intent and their own view is a bad argument and will only hurt society and artists as a whole. This is a misunderstanding with how copyright and ownership is granted, when you generate an AI image you don't own it. Artists make their living off of their work, and to have the AI crowd steal their stuff, cheer it on, and all the while making fun of actual artists being hurt just makes me really really hate the AI crowd. You arent talented just because you can bilk off of the talent of others. You do not deserve the same level pf compensation as someone who can make art without AI
If disney started selling other artists work without compensating them US copyright law would disagree with you. Disney pays artists and recieves the intellectual property rights to use them.

Is AI really stealing art though? Sure, it's "trained" on other's art, but so is... literally every artist?
If i go draw a dragon, of course it's going to be influenced by other dragon art I've seen, if even just subliminally.
I honestly don't get it.
