This thread sort of relates to the one started by @shrox how AI steals job out of his town.
Whether in the past, present or future, protection of intellectual property will be of utmost importance whether it's AI or something else which comes along.
Here's a letter or 2 from the Creator of Superman, and how he was essentially robbed of his Star Creation and livelihood:
And even Siegel's wife wrote/lamented about their situation:
In his most important earning years and later in life Jerry Siegel along with his creator Schuster fell into abject poverty while the owners of their creation, Superman, made milions for DC (National) comics. All told through the years, the earnings of Superman might be in the Billions, exceeding the Gross National Product of some nations.
I think the concerns which @shrox brought up are not trivial and AI is just another 'DC' that threatens to step and gobble up the creations of artists and writers.
The threat of AI is not something to be taken lightly. And they have to stand up to this threat, lest they become the next Siegel/Schuster or have the misfortune of ending up in some unmarked grave like Mozart did.
By the way, I spotted these Superman letters in an online auction and I wanted to buy them because they illustrate the plight of 'The Poor Starving Artist' since the beginning of time.
