#theyre certainly gonna make art online more restrictive. which personally i dont wanna happen

[deepseacityunderground]

and im still not convinced that using art in a database to train an image generation model counts as art theft. to me, art theft is deliberately stealing a piece of art to repost and to pass off as your own or make a profit off of. that's not what image generation models and other "ai art" are doing. and putting aside ethical feelings for a moment - how would "art theft" like that even be prosecuted? you might as well make saving an image from google images illegal if thats how you feel

#and its such a vague term too. ai is used in so many things nowadays. is rain world ai art. is vocaloid 6 ai art #i just feel like a lot of the legal challenges to various image generation models are just gonna end badly for us fanartists t b h #theyre certainly gonna make art online more restrictive. which personally i dont wanna happen
