If you want this to be unpopular, then you need to point out some of the implications. Lemme...

They hire artists, tell them to make stuff and because they are on payroll the company owns it.

This means, that those who think that AI training should require a license are not standing up for artists. They are shilling for intellectual property owners; for the corporations and rich people.

If it requires a license, that means that money must be paid to property owners simply because they are owners. The more someone owns, the more money they get. Rich people own the most property, so rich people get the most money.

And what do employees get? They get to pay.
