It's been said a thousand times but the ability to produce copyrighted material is not copyright infringement.

I'll say it again:

You can produce copyrighted material all day long and it's not copyright infringement.

If I draw The Simpsons on a piece of paper - whether or not I used AI to create it - it's not copyright infringement.

Copyright infringement is if I tried to sell that Simpsons work as my own, putting up for consumption and reaping the monetary benefits.

It has never been illegal to produce copyrighted work. You people are in for a surprise dystopia if you keep pushing to make that a reality.
