Raw LLM Responses

I think the question of whether you like AI or not is based on whether you know enough about it or not. I originally started my opinion of AI with: "Okay, I don't know. I don't care." And later, on a Discord server that could generate AI art for role-playing and role-playing propaganda, I used it to create fake propaganda for my team (on the server). Someone used my AI pictures, and after I asked him to not steal my work, he said I had no claim to it because it wasn't made by me, but was stolen from artists. I wasn't convinced. I had first generated images. Then I cut things out and told the AI ​​to try to generate other things in the gaps. That could always take forever, many attempts, before something useful came out. First question: Is the cutting out, what I do myself, art? Is it art where I decide where to cut? Afterward, I changed these images again with text and image editing. Second question: Is an image that I add text to (like in memes) art? (even if it were art, the picture would still possibly have been stolen) I had invested hours creating things until they met my expectations (or until I was so exhausted that my standards had dropped enough) and someone said it was simply stolen This situation got me thinking, and I eventually found videos on the topic (without searching) Over the years, (and the continued development of AI) where it became increasingly clear that they had stolen to create AI's, where I saw examples myself of AI users directly stealing art from artists or even replacing them with AI images that were trained on material stolen from their own images, where countless sites produce more and more garbage that makes real people hard to find in the flood of bad material, where artists stop making art or only make it available for a lot of money so that it doesn't get stolen by AI, I've become more critical There are things where I say it's okay to use AI: -For a little D&D adventure with friends -For your screen background -For satisfying your own desires with NSFW "art" It would be better if there was no stealing If only art that was released by the artist for the purpose of AI learning, were used (free, or for money) But as it is now, any monetized use of AI is immoral and theft Any use of AI for advertising is theft Every AI-generated product is theft and directly competes with those from which it was stolen Websites are scrapped and no one visits them anymore Artists lose their jobs, even from clients who could afford it (Recently saw an advertisement from my state where AI was used even though the government can definitely afford to pay artists) The internet is filled with garbage until you can't find anything any more And when you buy something online, there's always the risk that AI has been used in it, rendering the product unusable (coloring books) The companies that offer AI products should be sued for billions and give all the money they ever earned with AI back to the artists from whom it was stolen
