I get tired of the argument that “all artists steal from each other” being used to justify training AI on copyrighted work because the two are not equivalent in actuality, nor in their impact on artists’ livelihoods and the art industry in general. The implications of AI doing this is far worse. It’s yet another way for wealth to be shifted from the majority to the ever-shrinking minority. Philistines or luddites, none of us will win.
EDIT: Downvote all you want. I’m speaking truth. No one will win but corporations. And it’s not just the arts industry—the entire economic system is going to need to change if people are going to have an income at all.
