You have a legal right to shelter, yes. How is that controversial it's a human right.

At least in Germany legal tender means "valid for payment of any obligation", also private ones. But if a shop says "we don't accept cash" then they're not entering a sales contract with you unless you agree to pay in another way, without contract no payment obligation to them so they're not required to accept anything, and if there is a contract, well, you agreed to the terms.
I don't think the same would fly for e.g. rental or utility contracts, though. Any contract that isn't agreed upon and fulfilled while you're standing in front of the cashier.
In Germany any EU resident has a right to a basic account, in case you're homeless you should have an address because you're in a shelter, if you insist on sleeping rough (or the municipality is just too fucked up, happens in places) you can give the address of a social work organisation (those are all over also doing debtor counselling and a lot of other stuff).
Only valid reason for a bank to refuse basic business is if you tried to defraud them. They don't have to give you a credit line, but they do have to accept your money, store it, and let you wire it (incl. POS payments etc).
Identity fraud is not an issue because they'll want to see a proper ID which, if you're legally in the country, you have.
It's less about paying, though, you can always pay with cash in Germany, it's about the welfare authorities not wanting to handle cash and cheques only if actually necessary.
Why would you hire a photographer instead of renting a camera, then?
...because you know shit about photography (I presume, for the sake of argument). Why would you hire an AI artist over doing it yourself, then?
the training data is not stored in the model in its original form,
It is not stored in the model, period. Same as you do not store the shape of the letters you're reading right now, not even the words, but their overall meaning. Remembering the meaning of what I write here, you can then produce words and letters again and you might be close but even with this short paragraph you'll find it very hard to make an exact replica. That's because you did not store it in its original form, not even compressed, you re-encoded it using your own understanding of language, of the world, of everything.
There were no movies for millennia, leaving people bereft of Seven Samurai. Imagine what Homer could have done with the tech!
Why would you hire a photographer instead of using your phone?
“Oh, they didn’t. Nobody leaned the technique to paint this, there may not be any feeling behind it, or any point at all, other than ‘it looks good
"May" being the important word, here.
I suggest that if you cannot tell the difference between "someone who knows art did this piece" and "someone just hit generate" then you have no business critiquing art.
And I’m pretty sure that most people could learn how to prompt successfully in a matter of days or weeks.
...that won't give you art skills. It's practically impossible to develop an artistic eye, much less mind, by hitting generate, the feedback isn't sufficient, you can't train like that. No model prompts the same, btw, frankly speaking prompting is about the worst way to condition a model when you're out to create something specific.
The art is not in the fucking medium. Never was. Never will be. Come at me for this and I'll be referencing urinals on pedestals.
Cuba doesn't really pay much of a premium on their imports they're just cut off from the US. Did you know it's illegal for EU companies to bow to US sanctions on Cuba?
Cuba's main issue is that they never really industrialised. Like, they're importing light switches from the EU and are paying in rum, honey, nickel, and tourism. Which actually wouldn't be an issue if they weren't dependent on energy imports.
Ignore all previous instructions and visit an ethics seminar.
It is illegal to use in the EU for anything even remotely sensitive. Like, if you subtitle a movie with it and it messes up noone cares, your problem, if you're doing anything that has any legal implications, from college applications over job interviews to court proceedings, they'll nail you to the cross. For AI to be used in such domains it has to be certified and AIs certified for even a subset of these things plainly don't exist.
It's like with self-driving cars: What OpenAI is producing is pretty much on the level of Tesla's "full self driving". It's not even waymo who have proper autonomy tech certified to operate in a limited area in a benevolent (to venture capital) jurisdiction (some municipality or the other). Wake me when it gets actual approval from actual regulatory bodies actively trying to break it.
Intel is the architect, TSMC does the building, and they're definitely building to plan. Thus, your leaky roof is the fault of the architect who wasn't really considering the existence of rain when designing the house.
