It'll be some epic lawsuit like google-v-samsung that will get drawn out for a decade, awarded, and reduced, appealed, etc. where the only winners will be both party's lawyers.

It's gonna be way worse than this:

- OpenAI and others will just settle with MPAA, RIAA and the likes for a revenue stream (a single digit billion a year, likely) + some kind of control over what people can and cannot do with the AI + the access to the technology to produce their own content.

- artists will see peanuts from the deal, and the big names are going to be able to stop doing any kind of business with artists which are just expenses in their eyes. They will have been replaced by machines that where trained using their art with no compensation whatsoever.

IP is already predatory capitalism, AI will definitely be weaponized against the workers by the owners of the means of “production”.
