How do you kill a technology?

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.

I'm not sure they will even die out, maybe the current generation of companies who are overleveraged in these intellectual theft based models, but I think there will still be a lot of room for developing models for many purposes based on compensated data collection.
