The position was never "individual artists should not own their work", the position was "Perpetual copyright is bad". You act like that's the same when it absolutely isn't.
AI isn't touching Disney because those companies know Disney has teeth. So they copy from all the individual artists who depend on their art to survive and act like that's not bad. I have seen people on this site argue for that actually, because 'it's like pirating a movie'. To which I say: Fuck off. It's not the same because one case takes from a rich as god company while the other takes directly from a worker. Sure, the worker might be providing furry porn but so what? They are fulfilling that societal demand and should be fairly compensated for it. If these AIs were taking exclusively corporate art and shitting out their slop, I would have no problem with that.
Petit Bourgeois sentimentality bullshit.
Copyright should be destroyed, end of.
I am not pro copyright. I am pro artists being able to live off of doing art.
You are a stinky little larper if you cannot see the distinction.
I think the division of labour and the distinction of artist should die and that involves a socialism that involves everyone including what passes for artists these days doing work outside of art as required of them. So that everyone can do art instead of having a privileged few (relative to the global majority) that can while away their time making fan art commisions and shit YouTube videos.
