Reply to comment by bjt23 in What do you think of all the recent very vocal detractors of AI generated art? by razorbeamz

Copyright is a long outdated concept.

AI art is just an immovable object that makes that fact obvious.

Copyright in its current form is ridiculous. It may be necessary in some limited form until we reach post scarcity. Agreed we should see it abolished this century though.

Copyright is alive and well. Copyright protects many of the worlds largest businesses. Much of the code behind these AI is in fact under copyright. What is being made obvious here is that there are two sets of laws at play. Copyright for the rich and mega corporations. Nonconsensual open source for individuals and creatives.

I can see where you got that, but I see the problem being that copyright is fundamentally incompatible with the information age.
