This is such a new frontier but there is something there. If I draw a picture and release it into the world; I'm familiar with that process. I know, it'll be viewed and consumed by human eyeballs and I understand to some degree their capabilities and motives, or maybe I pretend I do. The point is, the release of the content into the wild was done with some understanding of its consequences. Now, along comes DALL-E, it's an unfamiliar, new class of a consumer. It'll swallow anything you produce and turn it into profit for another human, right before your eyes. It'll also do so in such a way without _recognizing_ the contributors to its success. DALL-E is a black box where the effort of creators goes in and someone else pocket is made fatter. The key point for me is that DALL-E would be worthless without it consuming other peoples work. Folks here have mentioned how they've consumed content over their lives that others have produced... yeah, but, with enough time you could have got there yourself. DALL-E simply cannot. It is absolutely necessary for it to consume the content of others.
