“Fair” doesn’t matter. The only consensus that matters is what is legal and profitable. The former seems to be pretty much decided in favor of AI, with some open question about whether large media companies enjoy protections that smaller artists don’t. (The legal battle when some AI company finally decides to let their model imitate Disney stuff is going to be epic.) Profitable remains to be seen, but doesn’t matter much while investors’ money is so plentiful.

None of the cases against AI companies have been decided afaik. There's a ton of ongoing litigation.

More and more people are realizing how wasteful this stuff is every day.
