> First of all, how do you steal an idea? We’re talking about pictures. We're talking about the fruit of someone else's skilled labor and the long labor that went into developing the skills. If you're so certain that's not valuable, well, then it shouldn't be any hardship to forgo that entirely and simply figure out some other way to get trained models. If it is valuable, then maybe it's worth treating it as if it is, both in terms of compensation and determination. Not only for moral accounting but also because of economic feedback: if it's not treated like it's valuable, then it will become less frequent that people can invest time and other resources into doing it.
