AI-generated Art and Copyright

Recently there has been an explosion of new computer-based tools for generating art using artificial intelligence. This issue is that the AI has been trained using data sets including copyrighted works without obtaining the permission from the copyright holders. Now there are lawsuits.

This video explains the legal principles (there is an ad right in the middle of the video, sorry; it's fairly simple to fast-forward past it though):

Ultimately it boils down to whether this is covered under the principle of Fair Use. If it is, then they don't need to obtain the permission of the copyright holders. This in turn depends on whether the new works created are "derivative" or "transformative".

Beyond the legal question, is it right from a moral/ethical perspective? Will it destroy the livelihoods of human artists? Even if it does, does the benefit outweigh the cost?
