Comment on Artists are making creative companies apologize for using AI
bramblepatchmystery@slrpnk.net 8 months agoIf artists aren’t producing work and just complaining about AI art, who is AI stealing the work of?
Your argument literally defeats itself.

No-one. Training a neural network, natural or artificial, is not "stealing". Or no artist would be able to study the works of other artists to become a better artist themself.

Your argument seems to be that we should consider the AI to itself be an artist and to grant it the rights of other artists.
That’s fair.
But other artists aren’t allowed to profit off reproducing other’s works.
They also are compensated for their work.
Is OpenAI putting money in a trust for when their product gains sentience?

But we do allow them to take inspiration from other artists and emulate their styles.
