I think few have grasped how much of future output will be machine generated from existing work, and yet rather than violate copyright, almost be a necessity to ensure a copyright somewhere is not broken.
That's an interesting angle that I hadn't considered. I was discussing with a coworker who is into machine learning about overfitting: where the output could perfectly match the input in a flawed implementation.
I'm literally working on this now as a side project. If the avenue I'm exploring is successful the concept of hiring artists will be completely changed.
