   @AeonCypher @cdarwin Solving it would make the systems worthless to a large portion of their market. The whole point is laundering plagiarism behind plausible deniability and intentional obfuscation.

     Generative AI models, with reasonable human prompting, have been producing results that humans have and would consider copyright infringing, if humans had produced those or similar results. Since the prompts themselves do not appear to be copyright infringing in any way, I think we'd have to conclude that the operation of the models is in violation.

     And even if the work is not a "copy," it's designed to compete with the original authors -- a violation in itself.
