On the bright side, I hope LLMs erode IP copyright so much we can have a cultural renaissance. China is always put as a horrible piracy heaven, but it is precisely their disregard of IP that got them where they are today. The exhorbitant copyright length of today is a net loss to society.

how would that be a cultural renaissance? quantity without at least discoverability just makes it worth-(less). And it's not like chinese companies are by default anti ip, they do like their work protected like most companies...
