That's why I put inspired in quotes. It's analogous to a human seeing something on the Internet and coming up with similar art or building upon it.

To me the tipping point is if someone is getting paid. You can be inspired by the joker character and make your own content/characters that are similar, but you can't just start making iterations of the joker and selling it for money (legally at least).

With Gen AI, companies are selling access to models that can and are being used to generate copyrighted material. Meaning these companies are making money off of something they didn't create and don't own.

If it's an open sourced model, then I don't care, but I think there is a problem when these models can take others work and charge money for it.

I think the onus is on the user of the AI. I could use Photoshop to make a joker pic and sell it for money. Should Photoshop be banned? The AI lets me do the same thing faster.

And that's probably we're things will land, but it is an interesting grey area to determine how much can the tool generate vs the person. Maybe it's a glimpse into the challenges of a post scarcity or post ai world.
