Nick Clegg, former Meta executive and UK Deputy Prime Minister, has reiterated a familiar line when it comes to AI and artist consent.

He said that any push for consent would “basically kill” the AI industry.

Clegg added that the sheer volume of data that AI is trained on makes it “implausible” to ask for consent.

I doubt it. With that $500 billion dollar grant, you can hire people to make art to train on. That's a LOT of money.

What makes you think that they'd do that?

Oh I didn't say they would do that. Nor do I think it would solve any big problem AI is causing society. I'm just pointing out that there's a simple rebuttal to his argument.
