My feeling is that while these things may be technically falling under fair use, I really feel like they are running roughshod over a lot of ethical and moral lines and that perhaps "fair use" needs to be redefined to explicitly exclude this kind of processing.
And if it kills these things, oh well. "Being an artist" is a precarious enough existence in this world as is, I'd be delighted to stop worrying about having to compete with an endless sea of algorithmically-generated barely-good-enough spam.

- omnimus 4y agoExactly this. It will just become tool used by those who can afford it in secret. No matter what copyright it breaks.
- egypturnash 4y agoTrue. But there wouldn’t be a growing number of easily accessible websites happily letting everyone type whatever prompt they desire, and there wouldn’t be further development being done in this area. “Zero people trying to disrupt my job with art generators” would be ideal, but “a lot fewer people trying to disrupt my job with illegal art generators they can get in trouble for using” is still better than “hey we released this great copyright infringement machine for anyone to use for free”.
- int_19h 4y agoThere will be. They'll just be outside of your country's jurisdiction.
