This has massive implications.

Interesting, but I'm not convinced that it will 'hamper creativity'. Not sure just how creative and important reusing images that belong to others without their agreement is anyway.
Aqua, how do you think it will affect us going forward?

It creates a precedent for putting the smack-down on theft through AI. Like, say, going on Instagram, taking drawings from a book illustrator, feeding those designs into Midjourney, and making new "illustrations" for yourself to make your own children's book based on the illustrator's designs.
That's already happened a couple of dozen times. There's also:
- stealing voices from actors and voice actors
- appropriating writing styles by feeding whole books into chat AI
- record labels creating hit singles by scraping TikTok videos from musicians who don't have two pennies to rub together

So it's a good thing. A very good thing.
Yeah, I think so.
Basically, AI can be great if you're doing the work yourself and it speeds up your nuts and bolts gruntwork.
It creates crap when you let it do your thinking for you.
It creates evil crap when you use other people's work as reference.
Honestly, it's a shame our government works in the way that it does. Usually assessing new problems and challenges as they come up works just fine, but we can't wait on any of this, or things are going to get very nasty for a whole lot of people, very quickly.
