This is cool. I think generative AI is great, but the way it's being trained right now largely without consent from the artists or subjects is unequivocally unethical. Until the law catches up with the technology, people need ways of protecting themselves.
Disagree. It's only unethical if you use it to generate the artist's existing pieces and claim it as yours.
I don't see how AI training couldn't be considered transformative as the whole idea is to consume input, break it down into data, and output something new. The way I'm understanding what you're saying is like this: Instead of only paying royalties when I try to monetize a cover song, I'd have to pay every time I practiced it.
I don't understand how you're separating the the generated artworks from the AI that's generating the work, but I do see your point. If a company puts out a tool for free I don't think they should be on the hook for someone using that and creating a product. At the end of it all though, I think whoever has made any hard financial gains should should payout whoever contributed.
