Raw LLM Responses

You make a point of would you rather be with an artist or an AI user...but your missing the group of people who actually advance the programs. They enjoy making custom AIs, fixing the coding issues, and developing their own lora's and such. Your only assuming people are out to get artists and such but what about the people who spend hours and days advancing it so everyone can use it? When I was a kid people did this with music...they ripped their own cd's and sold bootlegs of artists hard work songs. That was even worse then remaking artwork into something different with AI yet the general public was for it (Napster 80m users). So why is it, that if I take your style, create a purple dragon with silver spikes, and use that as my own would you be upset? You could make art for the next 80 years and never create what I had an AI do, a purple dragon with silver spikes. Your getting mad at a system that makes ideas that were never yours nor would be which makes no sense. Even if you did create one yourself, it would then be different then the AI one. Even then, you wouldn't just let me use it. T S Eliot (1920): “Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. The good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique, utterly different than that from which it is torn.” To the point about having more time for other things. Ok, Lavender I want you to make me a purple dragon with silver spikes in your style. I need it by tomorrow and at most I can only pay 50 cents for it. I want it to set up a twitch stream as I have no job or money and want to give it a try. Would you accept my request? If declined because "it would take to long" "your not paying me enough" or "your just poor and don't deserve to have an avatar for twitch" then that is why AI exists, and the people making it cheap and readily available to everyone is trying to help everyone else - not hurt Lavender. The coders want to see me happy in the best way they can without having me just copy+paste something elsewhere. If anything, the AI creating it is more ethical then just blatantly taking it like the majority of people used to do with bootleg cds...
