Investors sue Adobe execs over AI copyright statements

2. I'd like to see AI companies nailed for that dishonesty as well as their theft of copyrighted intellectual

property.

This lawsuit is particularly interesting to me because it highlights that image/video generators ripped off text as well.

The same goes for music generators. Suno and Udio's theft of all the copyrighted music they could access always gets a lot of attention, but no one should overlook the fact that the text prompts used to generate music work ONLY because so much text was stolen that describes that music.

And you can bet that the text Adobe stole included all the writing about art, photos and film/video they could get, so the AI would be able to link users' prompts to some approximation of what was being requested.

As I've said before, I'd like to see the AI companies sued out of existence, and the people in those industries responsible for the IP theft prosecuted and ideally sentenced to some time in prison.

Having them sued by investors they lied to wouldn't be quite as satisfying as seeing them sued by the people whose work they stole (the original sin of genAI, where the dishonesty started), but investors have more money for suing them.
