Then what are you arguing for? You're pro artist but not pro copyright, and you express that by defending copyright from the legal battle from AI companies?

I also want AI as it exists to die off. Bug I'm asking to strategically support it in it's fight against copyright while pushing for its destruction or cooption for the other, more legitimate reasons to want them gone.

I think the division of labour and the distinction of artist should die and that involves a socialism that involves everyone including what passes for artists these days doing work outside of art as required of them. So that everyone can do art instead of having a privileged few (relative to the global majority) that can while away their time making fan art commisions and shit YouTube videos.
