I could see using AI for tasks that are so mind numbing and mundane it might actually be cruel to make a human do it.
"I need a perfectly tileable concrete wall texture for a video game, make it light gray with random spots of yellow and white paint."

Copying != stealing
The laws are written so people richer than you can be even richer. Don't support them unless you're a useful idiot.
