Generative AI is a minefield for copyright law Some tentative thoughts (expressed as facts, but being questions rather): Work published on the internet is lost to the originator. Its potential exists as a form of advertising for the creator. Work specially commissioned (perhaps even by revenue earning websites) is probably the only certain revenue stream. Within these constraints, not to use the internet is probably the only safe avenue for artistic expression. Paywalls are another possibility, but to get known first, that is the problem. Then perhaps upcoming artists are not entitled to remuneration as they, after all, are leeching on the unsuspecting public?

Maybe the publishing industry will make a bit of a comeback. It's still illegal to make copyrighted material publicly available on the internet.

This is no different from what artists have been doing anyway, throughout the ages.
The difference is that true artists add some additional insights of their own; create a narrative which did not previously exist. That remains and always will remain beyond the capacity of generative AI, since it fundamentally arises from the human lived experience.

That remains and always will remain beyond the capacity of generative AI, since it fundamentally arises from the human lived experience. The difference the authors see between the traditional "borrowing" by artists of existing works and the AI generated produce they explain as follows: I must say the distinction seems to me rather fanciful. In a sense artists also train themselves by looking at other works. In fact, the AI generated stuff seems less objectionable as very large numbers of other works ( a number of 100 million is mentioned in one case in the article) are sometimes utilised in AI generated works - so the influence of any particular work is watered down considerably.

Often, it seems to me, that works are published on the internet by (minor?) artists themselves. The idea about the comeback of the publishing industry seems a sound one!
