very clear. But if you think the union and professional organizations' actions and the multiple lawsuits by artists, the NY Times and others to fight GenAI are only "personal opinion, scare tactics and attempts to shame people" you're being very dismissive of a gigantic copyright problem the AI companies knew they were creating for themslves.

As I wrote in another post:

AI companies aren't trying to keep what's in their datasets secret, or putting indemnification clauses in their TOS, or lobbying governments to change laws or make AI exempt, because it's a gray area. They know their GenAI works because of theft.


And see this article:
