I would say that car crashes are bad, even though they already happen and the motivation behind AI is to reduce them by being less bad than a human.

I think it is a mistake to trust 1st party statistics on the quality of the AI, the lack of licence for level 5 suggests the US government is unsatisfied with the quality as well, but in principle this should be a benefit. When it actually works.

Copyright is an appalling mess, has been my whole life. But no, the economic threat to small copyright holders, individual artists and musicians, is already present by virtue of a globalised economy massively increasing competition combined with the fact the resulting artefacts can be trivially reproduced. What AI does here needs consideration, but I have yet to be convinced by an argument that what it does in this case is bad.

All these things will likely see a return to/increase in patronage, at least for those arts where the point is to show off your wealth/taste; the alternative being where people just want nice stuff, for which mass production has led to the same argument since Jaquard was finding his looms smashed by artisans who feared for their income.
