It's like we've come full circle from the early 2000s.
At that time, the MPAA and RIAA was paranoid about changing technology disrupting their copyrights, and fought tooth and nail against it.
So what happened was other corporations created products which dominated the markets of that emerging technology.
Now we have individual artists grouping up to fight tooth and nail against the inevitable tides of change, having learned nothing from history, instead of grouping up to own that future.
The generative AI products that are trained using artists' own Photoshop files with full change histories, WIP pencil sketches, etc are going to be WAY better than ones trained off just the final images online.
But those products may never exist at the current pace of things, as the art community unwittingly cedes the stake in their own future to mega corporations.
