This has been an experiment, and it does appear that people will use the tools more and more. Unfortunately we can't escape it - which I agree doesn't make it right. Perhaps some kind of better licensing? The nature of these tools is that they exist and they have scraped all the "things". Maybe having your own private agent's is the way forward?

Copyright law was created because technology came along and made it so copying was easy. We could have thrown up our hands and said well we can’t escape it, these tools exist! But instead we used culture and law to create a framework where printing presses, tape decks, and computers exist and artists can still be compensated for their work. All that is needed now is some adjustments to account for these new copyright laundering machines.

Private agents doesn’t solve any of this. Those agents use models trained on others work, it doesn’t really matter where the model runs.
