Should AI companies be allowed to mine creative content to train models?

The effects of AI companies training on creative works When AI companies train models on text, video and images from creative industries, the end product is an AI model which can create near-human quality visual designs or copywriting. Many artists have argued the AI companies are exploiting creatives by profiting from their work, while the original creators do not receive any compensation. By flooding the market with low-cost content, AI has driven down rates for human artists, which is threatening creative careers.
