This resolves to "YES" if any laws are passed (or judicial rulings made with the force of law) in the USA that has the specific intent of hindering generative AI art projects and/or companies. Examples include, but are not limited to:

• Copyright laws/rulings that make it clear that training generative AI on copyrighted imagery counts as making a derivative work

• Laws/rulings regarding people's personal likenesses that impose restrictions on tools & software capable of generating them, or penalties on those who create them

• Laws/rulings against creating e.g. pornography with somebody's face without their consent

State and Federal laws and judicial rulings all qualify.

This is a fairly broad brush I'm painting with, and will be resolved subjectively in my sole (but trying to be fair) opinion, BUT there are two objective tests I will subject all the above criteria to:

• MUST BE NEW LAW: the legislation or judicial ruling has to be new. It can't have already existed as of when this market was posted.

• MUST BURDEN THE SOFTWARE/COMPANY: it's not enough to say "no individual is allowed to produce a picture of type X using these tools," because arguably that's already the case with e.g. photoshop. It has to have some burden that attaches liability to an individual or company who produces or maintains or trains software that can produce a picture of type X.
