AI have no rights. Your AI creations are right-less. They belong in the public domain. If not, they are properties of the peoples whose art you stole to make the AI.

It's such a counter-productive property brained take too. Like no matter which way it swings it's a lose-lose: either the AI owner gets to functionally enclose (but in a non-exclusive way) the sum of available human art and profit off of an endless stream of low-grade procgen nonsense mimicking it, or they have to build their own private stables of training art and then they get to own and profit off their endless low-grade slop generator and it just takes a little longer and costs them a bit more.
Chasing the training data IP angle is just playing right into their hands, when what should be pushed for is to make generative AI a copyright poison pill that not only is inherently and immediately public domain itself, but also applies that to the entire work it's featured in and any licenses alongside it. Disney used a deepfake somewhere in a Star Wars movie? Boom, Star Wars in its entirety becomes public domain as punishment, as do any trademarks they stuck anywhere in the film like their fucking Mickey Mouse logo. Just straight up making using it at all completely untenable regardless of the ownership of the training data. Not because this is a logical way to set it up, but because taking a complete scorched earth approach to AI generated slop is the only acceptable solution under the capitalist system: let it be a fun toy for the average person to fuck around with, and a deadly poison to any corporate commodification.
Hell, apply that to the algorithm itself: any software providing generative AI becomes public domain, as do any patents that software uses as well. Just go fucking nuclear on the whole thing entirely.
