The only part that annoys me about that complaint is that it’s not “stealing.” I think it’s very reasonable for artists to ask for compensation if their works are used in the creation of a commercial product, but it never has and never will be theft. Equating copyright infringement with theft is entertainment industry anti-piracy propaganda, and Hollywood really doesn’t need you to be their unpaid spokesperson.
If you’re an independent artist who wants to be compensated when your art is used in AI training, then do yourself the favor of understanding what you actually need to ask for. Specifically, legislation to clarify that incorporation of copyrighted materials into an AI training data set is a protected use under copyright law and requires compensation, and/or that AI image models should be established as derivative works of the images in their training. That’s the legislative change they should be pushing for rather than inaccurately claiming “theft” and “stealing art.”
Stealing art is when you have a painting and I don’t, and then I take it, and now I have a painting and you don’t. It has nothing to do with AI. Artists who oppose AI would be better advocates for themselves if they offered their criticism in accurate terminology.
Whats extra funny is the online DnD community that will parrot the art theft point seconds before they jump back onto Pinterest to TOTALLY NOT STEAL the art of their next DnD character
You fucking moron, they aren’t using that art for financial gain. That’s the fucking difference. You will never listen to any actual grievances though because you don’t care who or what it harms, only that you get cool new gadgets. Eat shit you cunt bag.
It’s not about what the people use the AI for, you incompetent prick. Who owns the AI? They make money from it providing a service to people. That service is stealing the abilities of real people who no longer get paid for their services.
A child could understand this but as I said you will never even try to because you simply don’t give a shit about anyone or anything but your own enjoyment.

You’re the fucking moron if you think the vast majority of AI Artists arent doing it for personal use. So lmao, cry more, your opinion is worthless

I just hate that artists are one part in a large organization who are hell bent on building walls online
