  This troll isn’t even good, why bother?

    I know it’s wacky, but some people don’t believe ideas are “owned” and need to be “rented” out for use and that no piece of art is an island, they all “steal” from prior works.

    Can you believe that? Next thing you know there will be human sacrifices, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

      I agree with them that an idea can’t be owned but it’s a misunderstanding of “AI” to compare it to artistic inspiration

        No it’s not, it’s exactly the same thing. What if you go to an AI image generator and tell it to make a cat in the style of Picasso, Van Gough, and Todd McFarlane? What then? Who’s art is it “stealing”? Is it not creating a transformative piece of work? That’s exactly how the human brain works. I think the real issue is the greedy fucks hoarding the models being closed source projects and trying to bleed everyone else for access to them. The models should be available to anyone for any reason since they used the common knowledge and general advancement of society. They’re like a library, and they should be public like libraries.

    This isn't a troll, it's a valid counterargument. Dismissing it is not a useful response.
