[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9079918, member: 18"] It scans thousands of pictures and essentially tries to turn them into maths, partly based on metadata associated with the image (some of which it self-generates or is input by the company, some of which it scrapes). The math is then associated with the metadata. Then it tries to generate a picture according to the prompts it's given. It can be highly specific to the point of fairly accurately imitating the styles of specific named artists - if they have a large enough body of work for it to scrape. We can, should, must and hopefully will ban all generative AI that doesn't have rights to the data it is using to train. That's basically 100% of mainstream generative AI at this point. That will change the AI landscape beyond recognition. Also, individuals should have the rights to not support AI-generated art or writing - we should support it being labelled as such as a legal requirement. I mean, legally that's theft (or perhaps fraud by misrepresentation), at least in the UK. I'm pretty sure it is in most states in the US. Are you from a country where that isn't theft? You could literally be arrested for doing that here. [/QUOTE]
