Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

    But the large corporations are handling that side of things already. If the lawsuit goes in the favour of copyright holders, AI companies would in theory have to do something to avoid using copyrighted material, or pay for the usage. Of course, there’s every chance that they may end up avoiding using copyrighted material from anyone big enough to fight back, and just profit off of the works of artists without the resources to stop them doing so.

      Still, artists will see nothing.

        If artists see generative AI companies going bust, that will be something.

          No thanks. I care about real benefits and systemic changes. Not fucking petty vengeance.

          It’s literally worse than nothing because now all the time and effort used fighting for this was wasted.

            If it ends the stupid AI bubble then I don’t think it qualifies as petty vengeance; that is some real change. There won’t be meaningful legislation to aid the day-to-day person against this garbage, no, but it’d still seriously reduce the degree to which this shit has invaded our lives.

            If artists get a break from competing against plagiarized AI slop, that’s not petty vengeance.
