[QUOTE="Oligopsony, post: 9080961, member: 56314"] IMO, it would be obviously convenient for traditional artists, but ALSO good for AI art, to be non-copyrightable or even non-commercially useable. Hustle culture, success understood as achieving professional status, and producing for an audience that isn’t yourself are all ingredients that make many artists less happy than they otherwise would be for every one that actually achieves professional status (oftentimes the same people.) The market value of something that’s fun and fulfilling to make and free to make more copies of approaches zero - which is part of what’s driving a lot of the anxiety here - so I think it’s really a poisoned chalice. Trad artists are already locked into this and losing their jobs would be even worse obviously; I think it would be nice if this new space remained amateur before anyone gets locked into it.
