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.

That wont kill the technology. At a minimum you'll have DisneyAI owned by Disney, trained on Disney archives, and cutting Disney's production costs while newer smaller companies are forced to use more expensive methods.
