I’d be careful with the plagiarism argument. People uploaded content to Meta/reddit and tons of other where the use term allow them to make commercial usage of the content you uploaded and it’s derivative. Not sure whether these use terms have been challenged in court but Meta and others has a massive database of image they can use to train their AI and reuse commercially. Artists knew it was going to happen when they started to post content on insta.
We do still have an issue though being able to generate Sailor Moon or the Simpson means they have copyrighted data in their training dataset, and it’s a serious risk for free/libre model (while Meta is big enough to tell Toei animation to fuck off.)
