    i choose to hold the syncretic and internally inconsistent position that copyright law should be used to expropriate all these AI companies to death, and then be repealed immediately.

        We just need a forever expanding attribution list, even if we get rid of copyright.

        X was created by Dave, Y was created by Eliza based on work by Dave, Z was created by Joaquin based on work by Dave and Eliza and so on.
