In this particular case I’m okay with it but I don’t see it as stealing. Human artists are influenced by the art of other artists the same way. It’s only stealing if you’re selling copies of the original piece as your own. I wouldn’t have any problem with someone copying my entire photography portfolio to train an AI to generate pictures with my style because it takes nothing away from me. Just sell them as your own then instead of claiming they were taken by me.

I hope you didn’t bet much. Just goes to show how one shouldn’t make assumptions based on tiny bits of unrelated information.

Where do you draw the line on what counts as property? Surely people can have some things that are theirs?

I didn’t - I created it.

I’m a self-employed home improvement contractor. I got laid off from my previous job as a plumber and I didn’t want to just find a different company to do the same thing for, so I instead took this decade-long vision of a better alternative and turned it into a business.

In my personal case, especially among the people I hang with here, my positive attitude toward generative AI seems like one of the major ones. Many people really don’t seem to like it when someone mentions enjoying using these tools.

TWD zombies ofcourse.
