But are their works even included in any of the datasets? Also - if I want to get, say, cover art for my book - why should I hire a human if Stable Diffusion works just as good? I'm also not interested in ripping off a particular artist's style. Do those artists really think that I'm going to hire them after they opt out of being included into ML datasets? Nope - I'll just experiment with SD a bit more to get the style that I want.
