One of the key principles quoted is "questioning whether artists can substantiate copyright infringement in the absence of identical material created by the AI tools". Or to paraphrase "how can it be copyright infringement if the output is different?".<p>I'm not here to make or dispute that argument, but it is interesting to ponder the notion that, should a future AI become able to similarly digest and remix existing content in order to create viable new content - say, absorb Game of Thrones and Star Trek and etc-etc, and spin out a whole new engrossing series where everything is at-once very familiar and slightly-changed - and in the process "launder" (to borrow a concept from finance) the copyright, then that could indeed vastly change the future outlook for some existing areas of art and entertainment industries.
