Reply to comment by 5teerPike in What AI thinks Vermont looks like by PorkFriedBryce

Me neither but I think your guess about it uploading every image of Vermont it can find and then making a new image out of a mix of those is probably barking up the right tree.

That's the best way I can describe it but it is definitely more complex than that, to the point where it isn't always simply theft.

It’s almost always theft. An AI can only be programmed to the limits of the human mind. It’s much easier for the AI to cobble an image together (stealing) than it is to code the AI to make something completely original and new.

If it has access to every image on the internet from a free or for sale page to the entire library of Congress, I don't think it's inherently a tool of thievery.

I also cobble images together with images I didn't make. It's called a collage.
