Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources.

You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy.

I do want to see the art people come up with who can't do it today. Give everyone a paid month off every year to do whatever they want. Learn a thing, make music. Paint. Anything.
That gives people access. Not a slop machine.

The slop / plagiarising machine gives giant corporations control,

Also you can't copyright / own any AI generated content. You can be sure if it could be copyrighted, the Corp selling the service would own the copyright.

@raymaccarthy are you suggesting that we should break copyright law? Or at least revisit these set of laws to make them short-lived and allow everyone to access knowledge, culture, music, entertainment?

Absolutely not.

In fact Google should never have won the scanning case. Example of USA courts favouring large companies at the expense of creators.
The LLM AI scraper owners should have been fined billions and those models scrapped.
Big companies "steal" copyright and creative works.

The point is that material produced by "AI" isn't a creative work and may even violate previous creators work. It's not a derived work in the sense that Treasure Island inspired by Coral Island is.
