In the long run, perhaps, but this is a sudden change that affects people's livelihoods. It's a tool that requires significant artistic input to even be copyrightable for the time being. This means it can't fully replace big money projects, but can negatively impact some commission based art. They must focus on providing things that AI can't easily replicate, which takes effort and time that struggling artists trying to make a living don't have. It's our system where people must maximize their direct economic value to survive that's the biggest issue, not the advances in technology themselves.
Copyright will be forced to crumble or be enforced with physical force. The fact is we're moving to a society where information recording and reproduction is improving to the point where physical likeness is a contributing factor in the socialisation of all knowledge and information. Anything that can be represented in the physical world can have a visual facsimile created. Our time is temporary but for the first time in human history something as little as having a photo taken of yourself can literally contribute to the advancement of all humanity.
Don't let the corpos steal the right to your likeness, everyone deserves to see your beauty.
It's FUNNY that an AI white knight thinks he is standing against Corpos when he is towing the line of exactly what corpos want.
Corpos want independent artist supporting themselves with FOSS tools? Nice!
"Artists" "Independent"
Corpos want artists to die, so does everyone defending AI """"""""""art""""""""""""
So why are you trying to help them by attacking independent artists? Here, I believe you were licking these.
These corporate shills can't be convinced. It's their job.
the Algorithm disagrees.
Then they deserve to be disturbed by your beauty. ❤️
Also when they make AI that doesn't require real artist input to even do what it does now then I'll believe it's anything but the plagiarism that it is.
I don't find this argument very convincing. All artists draw some inspiration from previous artwork, that doesn't make it plagiarism. Even if it's heavily influenced by other artwork it's not plagiarism if it's something original.
My art started as copying sailor moon. Then copying other anime styles. I make totoro and other copyrighted characters into figurines. Creativity shouldn't ever be owned. It's not property. If these Chinese knock off companies can do it why can't I? Oh because I'm not a freaking corporation with lawyers.
Plagiarism is disguising another person's work as your own. Assuming the AI generated image is labeled as such, no plagiarism is occurring.
When real artists make art without tools made by someone else, or knowledge gained form someone else, I'll agree with you.
We stand on the shoulders of the giants who came before us so we can reach higher than they ever did.
