AI training will continue to be done illegally and in the gray by both regular parties and those that can pay for the privilege. Most of the artists I follow draw styles and subjects that can't easily be replicated using AI. Anyone with a refined enough taste should not feel threatened or relieved. The continued technological progress serves those who adapt. What you should fear is surveillance tech.
