I just wish people wouldn't keep making arguments against #AI art that would apply equally to all human creative endeavours.
Otherwise I'm going to have to start apologising to everyone who has ever contributed to human culture in a way that's registered with me.
I have taken ideas, tropes, styles, principles of composition from all of them without their explicit consent. Learned from them, shuffled them around, incorporated them into my own work.
Just as these creators built on the work of all the creators who came before them. Ruthlessly.
@ferrous Yes, but you did incorporate them into your own work, and you did produce something of your own. We make fun of writers who copy other writers in an extremely unoriginal and derivative way, and the criticisms of AI are a natural extension of that.
@ferrous there's also a power dynamic at work. If I produce something that is a pastiche of a well-known artist or author then we can assume that creator was successful enough for me to notice them. If an AI scrapes online text or image from millions of largely unpaid or low-paid creators this is clearly more exploitative.
@ferrous if I silently lurked on an online fanfic or OC worldbuilding forum for a long time and then published profitable copy that was a pastiche of the entire community I think they'd have reason to feel exploited. The only difference is that AI can do this in hours not years.
@Loukas I'm not following why you think a an AI is more likely to do that than a human?
@ferrous I'm not saying it'll do exactly the same thing, I'm making a comparison about something a human could do.
