Saying ai is stealing is like saying being inspired and making art in someone’s style is stealing. It’s just hard for humans because computers learn much faster and it seems unfair that computers ...

I don't agree. The difference is humans are capable of creating something new. Being inspired by previous works. Currently, AI isn't creating something new because it doesn't think, reason, doesn't have lived experience, etc. It is an algorithm which given some inputs (the prompt) is predicting what is the most likely combination of pixels to output based the training set. Its why you ask a model produce a cartoon crab underwater and it gives you something reminiscent of Mr. krabs from sponge Bob (since that was part of the training set). You ask a human to do this and you will get wildly different results based on the person and their lived experience.

One day when ai is better I'll agree, but right now its hardly ai to begin with and more a fancy curve fitting algorithm.

Not to mention this argument feels like it misses the point: as a creator it feels so shitty knowing you built something and shared it on some platform only for the platform to use it to make money of your work. It may also be illegal, though thats a different story altogether. I don't think any amount of "well acshually all art is stolen content" will change that.

I have generated AI art that inspired wonder/emotion in me because it was so interesting to look at. It may be a derivative, but because I don't know the original inspirations, what I saw was new to me and thus I had a brand new subjective experience. I'd be interested to hear your take on this. Not...
