Okay, personal thoughts:
This is just gut instinct, but it feels like generative AI is going to end up becoming a legal minefield once the many lawsuits facing OpenAI and others wrap up. Between the likes of Nashville's ELVIS Act, the federal bill for the COPIED Act, the solid case for denying Fair Use protection, and the absolute flood of lawsuits coming down on the AI industry, I suspect gen-AI will come to be seen by would-be investors as legally risky at best and a lawsuit generator at worst.
Also, Musk would've been much better off commissioning someone to make the image he wanted rather than grabbing a screencap Aicon openly said he was not allowed to use and laundering it through some autoplag. Moral and legal issues aside, it would have given something much less ugly to look at.
Well, Musk is famously great at taking a no as an answer.
We've also already seen internal documents from nVidia executives directing their employees to violate the CFAA, and it would be naive to think they were the only company knowingly and willfully violating federal law to get their llms up to functionality.
Never forget that Aaron was hounded to death for doing similar, but at a far smaller scale and for the benefit of humanity
