this is exactly what i predicted: the current generative ai is basically rewarded based on how much it convinces people to be a real thing. it very much has the ability to copy verbatim unlike how most human memories work. without fundamental shift in the methodology of machine learning the fault can only be hidden, not solved. a cat and mouse game where one cat has to fight tens of thousands of mouse. it's also very telling how the discussion quickly turns into "maybe society needs to adapt" when so called technological innovation is involved. copyright problem should be solved for artists, not for datacentres. for now it's a handful of famous IPs, but what's stopping from generative ai to snatch some random indie artist's property and copying it ad infinitum?
