Training is transformative use. Dreamworks has a legal right to limit the commercial use of Shrek - but they have never been able to stop you from drawing him, or writing about him, and keeping that shit to yourself. Copyright has absolutely fucking nothing on works that are never published.

So that ability in itself cannot be a problem for the robot that draws anything.

I am glad AI image generators will finally feel the pain; I think it is time for more artists and companies to join in with legal action, let it be a death by a thousand cuts.
