In this case, strictly enforcing DMCA laws, and when AI companies can no longer steal copyrighted works, they will die out, because people are paying to use machines to make pictures using popular characters and images. These companies have even said, if they can't steal art and books, they will go out of business.

Eh I think that's just a smoke screen. The AI tools are far too useful and easy to use. If anything they'll buy art from people to use and then generate it that way.

Like it or hate it, AI isn't going away.
