I've gotten arguments that it's theft, because technically the AI is utilizing other artist's work as resources for the images it produces. I've pointed out that that's more like copying another artist's style than theft, which real artists do all the time, but it's apparently different when a computer algorithm does it?
Look, I understand people's fears that AI image generation is going to put regular artists out of work, I just don't agree with them. Did photography put painters out of work? Did the printing press stop the use of writing utensils? Did cinema cause theatre to go extinct?
No. People need to calm down and stop freaking out about technology moving forward. You're not going to stop it; so you might as well learn to live with it. If history is a reliable teacher, it really won't be that bad.
Well said.
I'd like to add that the biggest problem, imo, is the closed source nature of the models. Corporations who used our collective knowledge, without permission, to create AI to sell back to us is unethical at best. All AI models should be open source for public access, sort of like libraries. Corpos are thrilled we're fighting about copyright pennies instead, I'm sure.
