    AI trained on plagiarized art created by real humans who were not compensated for work that AI companies are now making money on.

    Aka stealing

      it’s worse than that, the article talks about img2img using AI. so these click farms are ripping real images and using that as the img2img prompt

      Its not plagarism. Its not stealing either. Its training. The only artists who complain about this dont care about making art and are only concerned about making money.

        When a robot replaces your job (or perhaps your friends or family) and you/they lose their way of earning money will your argument remain the same?

        If AI/robots could give us the utopia from sci-fi books it’d be grand and I’d be inclined to agree with you. But they aren’t, no one is getting early retirement because a robot replaced them in a factory and artists aren’t getting residuals from the derivatives these “trainings” are creating. It’s theft, outright, and the thieves are trying to make money off these originals.
