I’m an artist, my issue with AI art is that it is made using tons of artists creations without consent or compensation. Yes, there are plenty of artists that are in the public domain, it is fine in my opinion to train AI programs with those works. But that isn’t what is happening. AI is sourcing its images from all over the internet from individual artists whose work is not public domain. I know from experience. Today I went on the website haveibeentrained.com and found that a number of my images have been used without my permission. It is infuriating.
