> Generative AI changed the equation so much that our existing copyright laws are simply out of date.

Copyright laws are predicated on the idea that valuable content is expensive and time consuming to create.

Ideas are not protected by copyright, expression of ideas is.

You can't legally copy a creative work, but you can describe the idea of the work to an AI and get a new expression of it in a fraction of the time it took for the original creator to express their idea.

The whole premise of copyright is that ideas aren't the hard part, the work of bringing that idea to fruition is, but that may no longer be true!
