Setting aside the usual arguments on the anti- and pro-AI art debate and the nature of creativity itself, perhaps the negative reaction that the Redditor encountered is part of a sea change in opinion among many people that think corporate AI platforms are exploitive and extractive in nature because their datasets rely on copyrighted material without the original artists’ permission. And that’s without getting into AI’s negative drag on the environment.

    Honestly, just pass a law saying you’re not allowed to use a model that was trained using non public domain material.

    Voila, AI can be permitted without robbing existing artists and artists still have a monopoly on new material.

      This just in: thieves realize law means that they aren’t supposed to steal, theft rate collapse to 0%.

      Also those signs at school campuses saying they are a “no gun zone” means school shootings are officially a thing of the past. Phew, why didn’t we think of this earlier?
