Problem seems to be, though, that many people, both with and without claims to being experts, (a) do not understand that, (b) refuse to believe that, and/or (c) know exactly how it works but still scream blue murder because "how dare you look at my precious blah-blah-license-money-lawyers" etc. Permission culture often goes way too far, imho. Which is one of the many reasons we can't have nice things.

Oh, and let us not forget the mistaken belief that A.I. is the mythical "Make Art Button" beast that gives maximum return for minimum -- maybe even zero -- effort. Which as we who use it can testify it ain't necessarily so.
