> If the answer to those three questions is "yes", then I would argue that yes, you absolutely should have to pay royalties to the authors.

Copyright lobbies can't have their own cake and eat it too, if you want to enforce such a different way of thinking about copyright compared to the current one, that would destroy the current industry and rightly so.

I would appreciate if you addressed the questions as literally stated.

I could just as well argue that businesses developing or making use of LLM-models can't have their cake and eat it too. If they want their computer programs to enjoy the same rights and prerogatives as human creators do, they should be ready to demonstrate that those models truly deserve the status of legal persons as of themselves, subject to the same laws and obligations.

I don't think they care about that, they seems fine with output images not being copyrightable as per the current legislation.
