All damn time as a project committee.
Jesus Christ who called in the tech bro cavalry? Get a fucking life losers you’re not artists and nobody is proud of you for doing the artistic equivalent of commissioning an artist (which you should be doing instead of stealing their art and mashing it into a shitty approximation of art)
It’s like photography. Photography + photoshop for some workflows. There’s a low barrier to entry.
Would you say the same thing to someone proud of how their tracing came out?
These are not comparable to AI image generation.
Even tracing has more artistic input than typing “artist name cool thing I like lighting trending on artstation” into a text box.
Aside from the fact that your comment applies to photography as well, I think it’s fair to point out image generation can also be a complex pipeline instead of a simple prompt.
I use ComfyUI on my own hardware and frequently include steps for control net, depth maps, canny edge detection, segmentation, loras, and more. The text prompts, both positive and negative, are the least important parts in my workflow personally.
Hell sometimes I use my own photos as one of the dozens of inputs for the workflow, so in a sense photography was included.
Content platforms could start to poison their data with random AI generated garbage
It’s hilarious really
Companies have been stealing data for so long, and then another company comes and steals their data by scraping it they go surprised Pikachu
Never forget: businesses do not own data about you. The data belongs to the data subject, businesses merely claim a licence to use it.
No, they very explicitly don’t. They claim a licence in perpetuity to nearly all the same rights as the data owner, but the data subject is still the owner.
Also, that licence may not be so robust. A judge should see that the website has no obligation to continue hosting the website, and they offer nothing in return for the data, so the perpetual licence is not a reasonable term in the contract and should be struck down to something the data subject can rescind. In some respects we do have this with “the right to be forgotten” and to have businesses delete your data, however the enforcement of this is sorely lacking.
Laws change over time, though. Everyone is the victim of this practice, so eventually the law should catch up.
What do you think owning is? If I pull your strings, you’re my puppet. Ownership is control.
