its not stolen, its AI generated.
AI trained on plagiarized art created by real humans who were not compensated for work that AI companies are now making money on.
Aka stealing
Its not plagarism. Its not stealing either. Its training. The only artists who complain about this dont care about making art and are only concerned about making money.
When a robot replaces your job (or perhaps your friends or family) and you/they lose their way of earning money will your argument remain the same?
If AI/robots could give us the utopia from sci-fi books it’d be grand and I’d be inclined to agree with you. But they aren’t, no one is getting early retirement because a robot replaced them in a factory and artists aren’t getting residuals from the derivatives these “trainings” are creating. It’s theft, outright, and the thieves are trying to make money off these originals.
it’s worse than that, the article talks about img2img using AI. so these click farms are ripping real images and using that as the img2img prompt
They are taking an artist work and reproducing it - changed slightly. If you did that to a Disney work (AI or not) would they consider it copyright or fair use?
Who’s still using facebook? Oh. Morons. The people least capable of responding well to fake posts.
Ah yes, there’s always someone shocked to find that there are actual users of a site that has been growing continuously for 15 years and reports over 3 billion MAU.
Your social circle is not the world.
It’s the normie trap. We made the mistake of letting normies in on our Internet and now we try to contain them on Facebook because they have ruined the Internet.
Too few people realize this is actually the source of all the world’s current problems. We never, ever should have let the normies on here.
They were even worse before the internet, it’s hard to deal with but this isn’t even close to as bad as humanity has been.
It’s kinda strange, the Eternal September was before my time and now we have whole generations of even tech-affine people who never heard of usenet. Which btw just like email pre-dates the internet.
Lemmys future if Threads is federated.
Does the entire west coast of the US run on Facebook too? ‘Cuz that was a big unwelcome surprise when I moved to BC.
uh shit gotta get your mom’s out of that with mental outlaw reposts
