[QUOTE="Blue, post: 9226444, member: 20564"] Simplicity itself. Because some many people wrongly conflates the training data (the "model") and the tool ("the program"), when that's not the case. Now, many of the services like Midjourney and Bing are only offering one model, and we're pretty sure that model isn't ethically sourced. [I]Stay away from them.[/I] But you can download a standard diffusion program like automatic1111, and it doesn't come with a model. It meets your requirements by definition. Now, can that tool use models that are only ethically sourced? Of course. I could train it just on my own artwork. I could use public domain works - because that's what being in the public domain means, everyone has free right to use it. AI Art generating tools and the models they use are separate things. [B]I'm all for ethically sourced models - I think we need to push hard and loud for that.[/B] I'm not for the buggy whip sellers who think that the automobile should just go away, I mean those against AI art generating tools in general. Someone complained that "any Tom, Dick or Harry" can do art with it - that's a good thing in my book. Because there are times when I go to a restaurant to have a meal made by a professional chef, and there's times I want to throw pre-breaded chicken nuggets in the microwave. There's place for both. [B]Just like digital brushes make things easier for digital artists and stock photos can make things easier for non-artists, AI Art can be a tool for artists and non-artists alike to use. We need to get the copywrite laws enforced and likely expanded to push non-ethically sourced models out of the picture.[/B] [/QUOTE]
