I’m taking the bait.

The art he prompted was drawn from and trained by art that wasn’t his. The art was created by unsuspecting artists and then was blundered together like a frog until it created the image. He may have edited the image later on with a 3rd party program. But that’s still altering art built from an amalgamation of others art.

And this isn’t the same as line tracing or referencing other’s art because that still requires the user to put pen to paper and wholly create something by hand. Or hand to digital modeling software. Something that actually takes hours of work and concentration. Not coming back to your PC to change the wording in your prompt and then walk away for an hour or whatever while it blends stuff together for you.

If the original creator of the art work should get the copyright then the thousands of artists who drew the original training material should get those copyrights.

This is the same problem with AI in other fields. It’s drawn from the work of humans.

Moreover, I don’t want to remove the human element from art ever.

El Hazard, is that you? It’s been so long.

I get specifically pissed at all the AI generated answers.

I had a bug caused by the shipselling bug where each time I went through a load screen my gender and appearance randomized. So I can’t even begin to guess how all the noodles are connected.

Wait, wasn’t that wormtongue

Even if that was true, at least they make the effort.

Yesterday there was that article on here about the NLRB reviving rules in a huge win for unions by forcing recognition of unions if an employer fires unionizing employees prior to the vote by the employees.

That NLRB action wouldn’t have occurred under a conservative push.
