I personally care very little for copyright or copycats. I have great disdain for those who would profit off the backs of the labor of others. Saying that art often involves little to no effort just shows how ignorant you are of the subject. I am not threatened by AI and frankly I don't see it as competition, it's not really that good. Besides that the majority of my art is three dimensional. I am just saddened by how it will be misused to disrespect the effort and labor of the artists that it is feeding off of. No matter how complex AI might be, it is not sentient and it relies on human work and direction and is therefore not actually creating.
