[QUOTE="Emberashh, post: 9063708, member: 7040941"] My 2 cents on the matter has always been that if the AI cannot function without the use of content its creators were not explicitly authorized to use, then it doesn't matter whether or not any of that data makes it back out onto an output. If those outputs are being commercialized, it's IP theft, plain and simple. And thats without getting into the fact that AI's, unlike humans, can't improve upon their outputs in a vaccuum. An AI fed nothing but what they spit out will cannibalize itself into nonsense. A human has the capability to judge and improve their own creations independently of any other influence, and can in turn produce better pieces on subsequent attempts. Thats what sets actual art apart from the glorified stock imagery and lorem ipsums of AI. But, beyond all that, AI as said is just glorified stock images and lorem ipsums. Good fodder to manipulate into actual art, but its only ever going to be good at replacing the bottom of the barrel, as harsh as that might be to say, without the hand of an actual artist. Of course it can't be ignored either that AI has already had about as much a negative impact on art spaces as it has a positive one. Regardless of how you feel about AI, i can't fathom how anyone could see it as a good thing to see forums and image hosts getting spammed 24/7 with garbage AI submissions pulled direct from output.
