Because it's a system created with other real artists'works, often without their permission.

what do you think about collage?

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What about them? I assume you mean colleges.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Both are relevant. A collage is a collection of other images used to make a new thing.

And college is all about training people with other people's work.

All art is regurgitation. Nobody lives in a vacuum, uninfluenced by the works of others. I don't need permission to be inspired by someone else's art and attempt to create something similar. Why should AI need to?

  • it's not like ai creates images all by itself. Prompts are like scissors of a collage artist.

Are either of you artists? Has your art been illegally used to train the AIs?

Being inspired isn't something an AI can be. It isn't influenced.

I'm a writer, both published (in magazines) and with all I do online, which likely was used to train AIs.

The way this kind of AI works is very much the same as how we ourselves learn and integrate things into our own works. It is most definitely influenced in the sense that what it has been exposed to (trained with) can dramatically alter what it creates. From style to composition, color and aesthetic.

It takes a human artist 100s of hours to produce some of the same level of art AI can in a few key keystrokes. Those artists have had years and years of practice, spending time, money and emotion to create.

Do you think a copy machine is any different?

Only in speed and emotion.
