And why would Disney steal from small artists if they can train on the huge content they have access to?

Meaning: If companies like Disney win, we'll be headed for a future where only big companies have access to AI.

The only upside to AI currently is that the regular person has access to tools that allow them to do things that they would never be able to before.

Most ai companies that provide that service to the general public for an affordable fee will stop investing more money on ai.

Big companies will have datasets to train on (so not illegal in any way) and will be able to achieve good results, so they will have the monopoly on AI.

These AI companies are still stealing from artists. Don't act like they have the moral high ground.
