“This isn’t going to stop,” Allen told the New York Times. “Art is dead, dude. It’s over. A.I. won. Humans lost.”
"But I still want to get paid for it."

What are you even talking about? This is the least charitable and most absurd interpretation of what I said.
Oh no am I being uncharitable to someone okay with fucking over normal people because of a technicality? Sorry not sorry.
Why are you assuming I’m okay with fucking over normal people? That’s just absurd lol.
Because the vast majority artists are normal people and you are telling them to eat dirt because copyright law sucks?
I’m not telling them to eat dirt. I get there are people out there who just tell artists shit like “Artists just have to learn the new AI tools and if you don’t that’s on them.” We can agree those people suck. I am not one of them.
I agree that AI just mimics the patterns found in existing works of art. I agree that companies making money off these AI models are in a round about way exploiting the labor of artists who often struggle to make a living. I agree artists should engage in political activity to the degree that they can to fight for what they deserve.
That said, I am arguing that relying on copyright law and capitalist concepts of private property are not the avenue for artists to get what they deserve. That doesn’t mean I think artists should just accept the status quo. It also doesn’t mean I fault anyone, especially artists, if they disagree.
