The problem with the current discourse is that we're hung up on things that are largely irrelevant to providing an actual solution.
Arguments like "my IP is being violated" completely fall apart under any scrutiny and are readily abandoned in favor of some other useful proxy-concerns like "It's just copy and paste, not art!". I refuse to believe that the art community is stupid enough to make arguments like that without some existential dread clouding their judgment.
Do you really think anyone would complain if AI art didn't threaten their livelihood, in a space that usually celebrates inspiration and recognizes that IP rights often only benefit the biggest players? Do you really think a significant portion of that group would advocate for the strictest possible IP laws, which will wipe out a significant amount of human art as well, without some deeper motivation?
The ultimate issue is that people are losing their livelihoods and the ability to engage in work that is meaningful to them. We need to develop social programs that ease their fall, not run circles around the emotionally satisfying arguments that would "really show the other side what's what!". Ironically, a bunch of people are reducing one side to money hungry thieves and the other to lazy luddites below a comment calling out this exact behavior.
