Raw LLM Responses

„AI is not stealing any data” But the companies who made them did. That is a fact. „When the model is fed its training dataset, what happens is an adjusting of its internal statistical weights, and so it doesn't remember any of the training images verbatim. In fact, it can't” This claim is incompatible with what I found. „Essentially, about 99% of the time you can be sure that whatever you're getting out of the AI is a genuinely novel image” 99% is still not good enough. And it is more like 98.2% from what I found. „"Looking at references and learning from them" has never been illegal nor immoral in the entirety of art history.” These rules are about humans. Not mindless programs designed to replace artists. „Fueled partially by fear/anger and partially by misinformation, you begin thinking that there HAS to have been some kind of an ethical misstep in this process” It is. All I found about AI ethics make this immoral. „Literally EVERY step of the pipeline has strong non-AI precedent of being legit” No. There is no precedent, because programs designed to replace artists on such a scale did not exist before. „And considering you sell for profit acrylic prints of paintings that are really just scene redraws from Squid Game, like "The Alleyway", complete with not only the characters, but also the composition and background, YOU of all people have absolutely NO ground to stand on” What is wrong with him living by doing what he likes? Designing a program to take jobs away from poor and middle class artists is not the same as a middle class person living and surviving from doing fan-art of successful shows.
