I have seen a lot of articles and social media pushes to stop AI image creation because it can be trained to the style of a specific artist. It's constantly about how the poor artist won't be able to make mo ey because the AI can do their art for them.
I doubt this. Artists have multiple styles and are more well known for the story within their pictures. If I hired an artist who could repeat that style and do something similar then it's ok?
This makes no sense. Instead, I bet it's a big business trying to protect itself. Disney has a full department that decides on styles for art and presentations. Genie must look this way in all pictures and all artists must repeat it perfectly. Only Disney can sell products with this genie or anything close to it.
If I had AI make Genie doing something and then printed that out, there is very little Disney could do to stop it. This is the music industry vs Napster all over again.
People on the internet think it's some sort of secret club instead of a public space in computer format, and that is the cause of so many misunderstandings.
If you want your art to be kept safe and secure, don't release it on a website where a fucking child can right click and save it to their SSD within ten seconds.
Heck, don't release it on computer format because, ya know, snipping tool exists in any case.
If you leave something in the middle of the street and the next day it's no longer there, its not 100% your fault, but its certainly PARTLY your fault.
Right click save as but just looking at it isn’t wrong. Demanding that you can just use someone’s work for your own profit is. You can right click save as the Nike logo. Good luck selling t shirts with it on it.
That's more a problem if big companies existing and abusing lawyers, more than it's a problem of copyright 'theft'.
"Oh no, someone put a picture of Rei Ayanami on a shirt and sold a few copies, stop the presses!"
Every day major companies steal more ideas than any individual ever could, yet I don't see articles and retards ranting about them day in day out.
AI is just exposing how retarded everything already is, not adding more to the pile.
