Whats scummy is discouraging people from sharing their artistic expressions because your inferiority complex from them using a tool. Art has always been copied and built from other people. How many drawing books teach you to trace existing art to learn? How about photo realistic drawings which are traces from photos? How many works are derivatives from public domain? Yet that all gets to be art…The scumy thing in AI is that corporations use them for profit and aim to remove labor so they can increase their wealth hoarding, not that people can use them to express themselves without needing years of training…

lmuel@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks agoWhat part is hand drawn? Seems a little scummy to use AI and then put your watermark in the corner of the art you stole…

Generated images aren’t “stolen”, be mad

No, just plagarized.

That is a better way of putting it, but also requires someone trying to pass off the image as their own. So it wouldn’t really be plagarism if you just said it was a generated image off the bat imo

I missed the part of the comic with the credits/citations.

If I plagiarize part of my paper the whole paper is tainted

Again people loudly not understanding how AI works.

They did make the comic. They might not’ve made the images, but they are the ones that came up with the idea and put it together. It’s an expression from their mind, and therefore them watermarking it is a nonissue.
It does just seem scummy, it is scummy to gatekeep art.
