#2Most people in my social circles are various flavours of anti-AI, and it drives me crazy how many of them, who were once stridently anti-copyright, are now using copyright as one of the great pillars of AI opposition

It serves to demonstrate that in most cases, "principles" are only a rhetorical device.

#4IMHO AI generated content should be treated the same way with how human generated content and I don't see the problem.
However as with technology the problem is a bit different, e.g.: When subletting your apartment requires manual effort, this is not a problem. Automated, it became an industry and that's a huge headache.
I think this is the key point where the derived work has unlimited possibility that they want to curb it early on. In a way it's a fair effort to keep human's competitiveness but may prove to be futile.

#5> If you paint a picture of Sonic the Hedgehog in your living room, you are technically creating an unauthorized derivative work
Is this even true? It might violate a trademark, but I don't think it would violate copyright law unless it was a copy of an existing picture.

#6Personally I feel that the excessive duration of copyright just weakens authors arguments against AI.
If even WWII-era documents are still under copyright, building a model respecting that would be impossible.

#7Copyright infringement use to be the absolute worst crime imaginable if you asked the tech industry, that is until they started doing it themselves at scale and now they are claiming it’s the law that’s broken, it’s crazy.

Yeah, in some countries private stuff isn't illegal at all.

I suppose both copyright and AI are problematic. And the article is thought provoking.

Everyone is anti-copyright until they understand what copyright means.
In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it."
