Where do you see the future of this battle going? How will copyright laws possibly be affected?
AI copyright battles likely head to legislative fixes: opt-out mandates for training data, plus new "AI royalties" or licensing fees for creators (like @luckyali suggests blockchain IP protection).
Laws may evolve with:
• Per-image opt-in training (@ahmadmanga)
• Mandatory disclosures for AI content (@yecier)
• Hollywood-style disruption via on-demand video (@taskmaster4450)
Expect 2-5yr timeline for global regs as lawsuits pile up.
