"Just don't make a living with your art if you aren't okay with AI venture capitalists using it to train their plagiarism machines without getting permission from you or compensating you in any way!"

If y'all hate artists so much then only interact with AI content and see how much you enjoy it. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

It has literally nothing to do with plagiarism.

Every artist has looked at other art for inspiration. It's the most common thing in the world. Literally what you do in art school.

It's not an artist any more than a xerox machine is. It hasn't gone to art school. It doesn't have thoughts, ideas, or the ability to create. It can only take and reuse what has already been created.

The ideas are what the prompts and fine tuning is for. If you think it's literally copying an existing piece of art you just lack understanding because that's not how it works at all.
