Imagine over 11, 000 artists from all over the world joining hands. Yes, you heard it right! Big names like Julianne Moore and Thom Yorke are among them. They're worried that AI companies are using their art without permission. This isn't just a small issue—it could shape the future of creative jobs. Artists like Ed Newton-Rex are stepping up. They're forming groups such as Fairly Trained. Even big shots like The New York Times and major music labels are fighting this in court. But here’s the catch: there are no clear rules yet. Some states are beginning to make laws about this, though.

Think about it, if AI starts using art without asking, it could change how artists earn a living. Julianne Moore isn't just an actress; she's also a photographer. She might not like her work being used without her say-so. The same goes for Thom Yorke, the Radiohead frontman who's also into visual arts.

The problem is, AI can create art that looks a lot like an artist's original work. It's like someone copying your homework and saying it’s their own. It’s not fair, right? That’s why groups like Fairly Trained are making a fuss. They want rules to protect artists.

Some states in the U. S. are starting to make laws. That’s good news for artists, but it’s a slow process. Imagine if all states had laws to prevent this. Artists would feel more protected.
