Is it really an education problem? Should the artist care that their images are not actually being stored in a database? Would they say "oh, well now that I know how it works, I'm actually fine with it"?
I suspect their indignation is more to do with their work being consumed without their permission, and then turned into a tool that undermines their value. These tools wouldn't exist without the work of artists. I don't think it's fair to act like no injustice has been done.
- friend_and_foe 4y agoI suspect their indignation has more to do with the fact that the marginal cost of what they do to feed themselves (so that they can live another day to express themselves, of course) is now close to zero. If we had arrived at these art producing machines by some other means, I doubt that the artists would be pulling any punches, seeing as they suffer all the same.
