38. Artists being influenced by art that has come before

is a beautiful thing. But there are limits. There is copyright and there is plagiarism. An artist can sell their rights, or not. They actually get royalties for other people using their art as well as their name on any reproduction. There is a period of time before something is in the public domain.

With AI there are no limits, and the oligarchs usurping ownership couldn't draw a stick figure or have a creative thought. How many, and what kinds of artists will be left with a dozen people owning marketable art? What kind of world will that give us?

Imagine a world where Trump doesn't have any trouble getting acts for his birthday party because the artists are spawned by machines instead of the creativity that tends to go hand in hand with a human conscience?

i'm not saying that AI can't be a tool in art that is actually creative. But I don't see anyone drawing any kind of line. If we don't protect our artists, there won't be any, at least as we have known them. Laissez-faire never worked and it won't work here.
