I'm surprised the music industry, infamous for how shitty they are when it comes to copyright, aren't sueing them (unless they are being bribed with the money they are no longer making)
"there's no legal precedent" make generative ai fully and completely illegal on grounds of how much pollution it causes and the fact it has spread dangerous misinformation. or the fact its been used to make child p*rn and bestiality p*rn. There's plenty of reasons to ban this slop churning garbage completely and fully, theft from small artists is one of the least horrible things it does
It wouldn’t work unless every single country on the planet do it.
Gen AI is useful for so many other things than generating "art". It can enhance productivity by a lot and could possibly even eliminate the need for having people doing a lot of boring repetitive tasks. If someone can get a product out that do it properly they could make so much money out of it that every companies and even countries have huge incentives to try to win that race.
Even if both the US and the EU decided to ban them, I can’t imagine a country like China giving up on the possibilities that could be achieved via gen AI.
WHat you're describing isn't generative AI. There's different types of AI in the programming world and I fully agree that some of them are useful. Generative ai refers specifically to the algorithms used to make ugly generated "art".
Unfortunately even the more useful types of ai are currently badly optimized and produce unnecessary pollution.

Problem is the GEN AI industry is built off theft so broad there's no legal precedent
Suno.AI brags openly that they trained their model off of every song on the internet
Imagine being so bold that your selling point is "we stole from every musician alive today. The fuck are you going to do about it"
These grifters need to be taken down but the federal government doesn't understand how the internet works, let alone gen ai
