The entitlement of AI developers towards the collective labor of millions of artists will never cease to disgust me.

  Why put shit on the internet if you don’t want people to see and use it? The collective naivete of artists continues to astound me. If a human can look at your art and learn from it, replicate it, and sell it, then so can an AI. If the human doesn’t pay for it, then neither should the AI. Of course you are not allowed to use the exact same (or close enough) piece of art, but that’s no different for a human.

    There are many reasons artists make their work available for others - enriching hustlers who crap on the artist’s work while making a buck is probably low on the list though.

    It's astounding to me that people still don't seem to understand the difference between chopping down a tree and clear cutting a forest. Your callous disrespect for the people who made these ai systems possible proves my point, so thanks I guess.

      Pray tell who loses out here? A cut forest is gone. A forest photographed now exists in two places where previously there was one. AI generated art doesn’t replace artist created art, it allows people that can’t use artist created art to enjoy a shadow of the real thing (the photograph of the forest). I would certainly enjoy it if my generated pictures were annotated with the artists that were used to inspire it because it would lead me to a better source for future work, but it’s not a requirement.
