AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

Maybe in some future case they'll show how involves they were and it wasn't just "prompt and accept what you get", and the courts will acknowledge it being tool use. I suppose we shall see.

I think that once AI can track behind the image what the artists do to it and everyone can see how much time and design change there is, laws will shift to take that into account and there will be rulings that AI artists can control what they create.

Your country's courts disagree. They have ruled clearly that AI content is not human created as their reasoning for why it cannot be copyrighted. By using an LLM you have not created anything, not just in my opinion, or from a moral/ethical standpoint, but legally speaking.

It wouldn't be the first time the courts have gotten things wrong. Also, the courts tend to be more cautious with new technologies that are entering the legal space. Over time, as the technology progresses and is better understood, the rulings can and I think probably will change.

It isn't. Because they're right.

Like the court case where someone proved pinball had been legally misclassified as gambling, and was in fact a game of skill? I suppose we shall see.
