AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

the Supreme Court actually ruled against him for doing that.

Hence the distinction between copyright & trademark in these discussions.

I cannot imagine a person with no creative ability even wanting to make art tbh. If they arent creative, what would drive them to try to create?

There’s a lot of people in this world who have creative impulses but have limitations that inhibit their expression of them.

A jeweler I have worked with for decades cannot draw. He’s envious of my ability to visualize and sketch out a half-dozen riffs on a ring or pendant in a few minutes, given only a stone and some parameters.

But he has a CAD program that lets him put his ideas into a manipulable visual form he can show clients and work from.

On a side note, am I the only bothered when people who use AI for everything keep calling themselves "creators"?

You are not.

You're no more a creator than I am a chef when I order a meal.

That's exactly what I said.

 

[ART!]

We don't need more small creators as much as well need more good small creators. Reliance on AI art, let alone writing, doesn't help a creator get better and it tends to drown the people who actually take the time to make something with care.

Just wanted to "ditto" this.

If the rationale for using "AI" "art" is that you have to in order to compete with big publishers who use "AI" "art", in the long run you actually are making things harder for yourself and for anyone who creates without "AI". You are reinforcing the idea that you need "AI" to compete, adding more "AI" "art"-filled products to the marketplace, and thereby contributing to the idea that you have to do that to compete. You could actually be shooting yourself in the foot.

Correct. The original idea and human creative intent all comes from the recipe writer.

After that, it matters not whether the recipe is then followed by a robot or a human, provided each executes that recipe precisely. Either one is, at that point, just an instructions processor; similar to a pianist perfectly playing sheet music exactly as the sheet tells him to.

Just like the AI generator is producing art as instructed by deatiled and amended prompts. It's just a tool at that point; the creativity all came from the mind of the person visualizing the desired image then writing the prompts that (ideally) tell the machine to produce that image.

If you honestly believe a musician following sheet music is just an instructions processor, no different than a mindless robot, then I see no point in continuing this conversation. Have a nice day.
