There is a book “steal like an artist” by Austin Kleon that addresses this idea. Real short read and interesting visuals.
As for AI specifically.
Ai image generation tools are just that, a tool. Using them doesn’t immediately discredit your work. There is a skillset in getting them to produce your vision. And that vision is the human element not present in the tool alone.
I personally don’t think terribly highly of ai art, but the idea that it’s “just stealing real artists hard work” is absurd. It makes art accessable to people intimidated by other mediums, chill out and let people make shit.
So an AI that is trained on many copyrighted Images from Artists without being asked, and then asking the AI to create from this Artist its drawing style. Is it not a copyright nor a steal?
I mean, weird enough if a person would do that it would be more ok than an AI. But the difference is that you as a human get creative and create an Image, an AI is not really creative, its skill is to recreate this exact image like it would be stored as a file or mix it/change it with thousands of other images.
I have no standpoint in this topic, I can’t agree or disagree.
Nothing is oc.
