Copywrites, trademarks, and royalties are Obsolete and AI Killed Them.

The question is:

If I 'train' myself by reading Wall Street Journal articles, Gartner research findings, watching TED Talks, listening to NPR(all copywrite material) and then write an article based on this research, DO I owe these sources royalties?

No or Not yet?

Now, after a bit of editing, I ask, 

"If I train 'AI' with Wall Street Journal articles, Gartner research findings, watching TED Talks, listening to NPR and then write an article based on this research, DO I owe these sources royalties?

In the same theme, if I go to the Louvre, spend 2 hours studying "The Coronation Of Napoleon By Jacques-Louis David" come back to my computer, create a prompt based on my study, which creates an image.  Then I take said image, plaster it on T-shirts, postcards, bumper stickers, coffee mugs and bourbon bottles - Do I owe the Louvre a cut?  

How about Jacques-Louis David's progeny?

Careful. This is the question of the day.

If I train utilizing an example, I do not own the piece, I own the inspiration gained for studying the work, correct?

Everything is changing. More than we can understand - from basic processes and tasks associated with 'work' to the extreme processes of human creativity.  This is the greatest upgrade in the history of mankind.

How this all ends up is anyone's guess. I see a world much closer to Star Trek(TOS) than Terminator.  An undefined and blended economic structure, exploration and creativity for exploration and creativity's sake, plus and advance evolutionary stage beyond the physical.

Yeah, mystic, almost.

Perhaps the future will be a combination of Trek, Bladerunner, Running Man, Soylent Green, and SpaceBalls - probably not.

History of Stuff -

Copyrights:

The concept of copyright has roots in the "Statute of Anne" of 1710 in Britain, which was the first statute to provide a formal right to copyright for the creators of written works. The idea was to encourage the creation and dissemination of works by granting authors a temporary monopoly on their work. Over time, this concept spread and evolved into the modern copyright laws we have today, which cover a wide range of creative works.

Trademarks:

Trademarks have been used informally for centuries, with producers marking their goods to indicate source and quality. The modern system of trademark protection began to develop in the 19th century as industrialization increased the importance of brand identity. Trademarks help consumers identify the source of goods or services and protect the reputation of the brand.

Royalties:

Royalties are payments made to rights holders of works (like music, books, patents) when their works are used commercially. The concept of royalties has been around since at least the late Middle Ages, but the system we recognize today began to take shape in the 18th and 19th centuries as the spread of copyright law created a legal basis for creators to charge for the use of their works.
