Yeah it's a bullshit ruling that is probably going to be reversed at some point in the future once public opinion demands it after enough artists have been fkd over. I swear a lot of courts right now are making decisions based on what-ifs rather than what these technologies actually do.

Maybe they can use it for leverage against the inherent lunacy of IP.
The west spends a lot of time kvetching about China "stealing IP". But if we get to a point where China is complaining about purloined copyrights-- in a sector that's a huge goldrush darling right now-- it might reduce Western eagerness to pick a fight.
That would be funny, but who knows what will happen. We just have to wait and see how seriously they uphold this IP stuff for AI "art"
Assuming judges even comprehend what the technologies do (not that I do, either, but I don't have a gavel). TBF this is China so maybe things are different.
