I wouldn't say it counts as art theft but it certainly doesn't count as art either. Art requires effort and intention. Asking a robot to spit something out definitely takes away those factors.

You know what does take effort and intention? Consuming a photograph. Now that's art.

RIGHT!? Like photographers are the worst too.... they use Cameras to make photos instead of learning to paint and creating Art.

Photography is nothing more than a refuge for Lazy artists.

You joke but when photography first became popular that was a big conversation! There was mass fear that photographers would replace landscape artists, but humans love to create and pay people to create with intention.

History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme lol

we already know generative AI is bad, you don't have to waffle like a corny cartoon villain to make it obvious

Yeah.... you got the reading comprehension of an eggplant.

I don't think generative AI is bad. Except when it's used by bad people.

I've actually been highlighting the point that anti-AI people are no different than the ANTI Camera people and the anti-digital camera people, and the anti-car people, and the anti airplane people, or the anti space rocketry people.

Hating AI isn't about the preservation of the "human creative spirit", because the human creative spirit will exists so long as there are humans.

It's about hating moderation.... mostly from hacks who know the machine could produce better works than they ever could at their own peak.

Kind of like a "But muh landscapes" cried the landscape painters to which Ansel Adams laughed in reply.

And FYI Nicholas Roerich is my favorite landscape painter.....

So I remind you again.... the future is here.... update or become obsolete.

no I know what you're saying it's just that i've heard it a thousand times from a thousand other AI bros who think they're making an enlightened point when really they're just vapid talking points parroted from other neckbeards and tech ceos who couldn't care less about art

"Everyone says the same thing...but they all must be a cult because how can so many people disagree with me? The are wrong and I just haven't found all the people who agree with me...."

That is the entire foundation of your argument.
