All artists are trained on copyrighted work.
Let's abolish all copyright then, since everything is influenced upon things that came before it. Right?
That's a great idea! Copyright is completely broken and only benefits large corporations with the lawyers to enforce it. It is nonsensical and the constant extensions to US copyright have diluted public domain and open-source works. In fact, the constant and rampant breaking of copyright and stretching the definitions of fair use is a side effect of the public’s lack of options in the public domain space.
except AI isn't human, obviously. so corporations can deploy millions of instances to churn out slop while crediting no one, thus erasing all the cultures that went into said slop.
while all the remaining artists become even more impoverished from the devaluing of their art. there's a name for this behavior if a human was doing it, it's called being a scab
People can create whatever they want with AI. They have access to the same tools. Viva la open source.
Also, AI art isn't copyrightable, so whatever corporations are churning will not be protected by a court of law.
I've yet to come across an AI shill that can demonstrate a modicum of reading comprehension. none of your points disprove what I said
"we've open sourced the nuclear button, Viva la resistance 🛠️" 🤦🏻♀️
Nobody's art is being deleted, what are you trying to say here?
When there is so much AI slop out in the world that it makes you question whether something is AI or not. That's definitely erasing human creativity.
yeah what it leads to in practice is the original art style of the victim being scrutinized due to "looking like AI art".
like, no, the AI actually looks like this art style because so many techbros stole it without crediting the artist and now everybody thinks that the style belongs to the AI overlords.
it's happened to me a few times where I see gorgeous art and I second-guess myself for a split second when I see certain digital art styles.
that is a horrible experience to have as an art enjoyer and concerning how few so-called "tech enthusiasts" actually value the human beings that led to them enjoying art.
they've been so brainwashed by AI propaganda and bootstraps ideology that they can't imagine a future that's worse than today because corporate tech futurism so often labels cyberpunk futures as utopia
As a digital artist, you can produce time-lapse videos while AI cannot.
Perhaps process will become more important than product. In fact process is indeed where the progress is IMO (even in music).
wdym by process will become more important than product?
I did say "perhaps".
The way art/music is made prrhaps becomes more important than the art/music.
There is much more uncharted territory there than in the final product now that most taboos are removed and even unskilled people have been able to realise visions from their bedroom.
Yeah, this is what I don't get. "Good artists copy, great artists steal." This is a quote for a reason. Everything is just a remix of something else. Just look at the shit Andy Warhol put out.
Also, you can't copyright AI art, so I'm not sure what the point of paying money for AI art is for.
AI could not have predicted that Andy's work would be popular. AI would not have come up with it.
