The headline gives a bad first impression but I think the text itself has an interesting point. As it stands right now (in the US) the AI gatekeepers can't copyright any of their output. So each and every piece of generated media is one more piece added to the public domain pile. Most of it is worthless but if there's anything worth building on someone or someones can do that.
