the copyright people are insufferable. In my experience those who complain the most about copyright and "AI art theft" and whatnot, either 1) have a vested business interest in not automating this kind of stuff (e.g. they churn out low-effort quickturnaround copy / design), so the automation is coming for yet another mind-numbing half-automated (sorry non-stop CMD+C / CMD+V isn't really "creating" anything novel or of value). Yeah those SEO spam gigs will be written by robots now, how quaint. 2) are copyright justice warriors who are raging for the sake of it, meaning they aren't even designers, artists, writers or anything like that. 3) do create some kind of art / text etc., but of a quality that is not putting them at risk of getting the badge of honor that is "in style of <copyright justice warrior>". At the core of all this rage is just envy at someone being smarter and more successful than you are - in computer science, in statistics, in business, in art, in writing. Yeah someone did something so good it made it into Stable Diffision as a "named prompt". Yeah someone was actually capable of creating Stable Diffusion. Protectionists are disgusting.
