That would only be a world where the copyright and other IP uncertainties around the output (and training!) of LLMs were a solved and known question. So that's not the world we currently live in.

The ruling capital class has decided that it is in their best interest for copyright to not be an obstacle, so it will not be. It is delusional to pretend that there is even a legal question here, because America is no longer a country of laws, to the extent that it ever was. I would bet you at odds of 10,000 to 1 that there will never be any significant intellectual property obstacles to the progress of generative AI. They might need to pay some fines here and there, but never anything that actually threatens their businesses in the slightest.

There clearly should be, but that is not the world we live in.
