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.

Correct.

All this hubub about AI "stealing" people's work really just puts into perspective how dumb the average idiot truly is.

They're incapable of comprehending that literally nothing is original. Shrek wouldn't have been made if it wasn't for the works that influenced it.

Every single artist would make different art if they had different influences.
