It’s time to be realistic. The technology is so easy, so fundamental and so accessible that we have to accept computers can in the mid term, extract any concept in minutes and that’s how it’s going to be because you really can’t legislate technology like this into a box. You can’t outlaw matrix math because the tradeoff is to give up all privacy and security or generate massive barriers of entry to protect an entire profession (you can only do art if you keep the receipt of every ingredient used which allows gatekeepers to emerge - fundamentally destroying art). 6-10 images is enough to lora anything on a consumer GPU or macbook- you can’t legislate that reality away. Just like gunpowder, a simple enough chemical compound that was never containable changed warfare and wiped out entire professions, we ain’t ready for it, we’ll wail and gnash for what is lost but it’s done. Copyright was not made to apply here - it explicitly does not protect style and it’s funny to see the industry trying to get there now (see adobe congressional suggestions) in order to be able to colonize plots in latent space and rent seek them. Copyright exists to make art work with capitalism - the bigger issue at this point being extraction by rent seeking platforms and monopolies - the technology is not the issue, neither the random schmucks on the internet that use it - the issue can be perfectly seen at Hollywood level now: If consumer products involving art can be made without artists, publishers will do it. Legislate that.
