What can AI do but you can't? The copyright violation is in the output published work, not in the method of operation.
Would the AI technically own the copyright to the work they just produced?

Copyright of AI output is not proven.

AI cannot hold copyright, therefore AI cannot generate a copyrighted work, as it cannot transfer it to a human or corporate rights holder.This is the only thing that can actually democratize the benefits of AI to all people, not just billionaires with infinite resources to throw at training their models.
