I don't mind people making and sharing AI pictures for fun, but if you sell those pictures, that's kinda cringe tbh.

I don't oppose AI pictures at all. However, considering that all generative image models have been trained on human generated data, it is only fair that these models and art created by them be under copyleft licenses.

In the US under federal law only a human being may own copyright over a piece of artwork. Even a monkey that takes its own picture can't legally own the picture, so neither can an AI. The only thing you can own is the access to the artwork.

Honest question: how does this work for corporations? Does that mean a particular employee of a corporation holds the copyright, or can the corporation itself (e.g. Disney) as a legal "person" hold a copyright?

Nobody can hold the copyright unless it's deemed to be created by a human. Disney owns the copyright because under US law, corporations are also people, and their employees create the work for Disney.
