Intelectual property is a capitalist invention.
Human culture is to be shared.
Oh right, we live under communism, where everyone's needs are cared for. My bad
Oh wait, we aren't and you are just a shithead who, once again, wants to tell me that stealing from other workers is good.
How can something being stolen if no one took anything from you.
Same as piracy is not stealing. Training AI models is not stealing. Sharing is caring.
If you don't get paid enough go ask your boss why he makes much more money than you.
Yes, please apply the logic of stealing form large multi-national corporations to individual artists. Sterling logic.
I know why my boss makes more money then me. Because he is my enemy in a class war.
If any of these AI models draws art that is slightly too close to looking like Mickey Mouse the Disney corporation is sharpening the lawyer axe. I wonder why. But sharing is caring, right? Why would they do that?
Oh right because they want to decide what their intellectual property is used for. A right that wasn't afforded to basically every single artist whose stuff was used to train these models. These artists often rely directly on selling their art for their daily survival. Maybe they would have liked some money to sell their art for this purpose? Maybe they didn't want to sell it at all? Doesn't matter, they weren't asked. If you don't have an army of lawyers, the corporations will do as they like. Which is why Disney is save, while normal artists are fucked and weren't even asked in what hole they would like it before they were.
So shut the fuck up about sharing is caring, it's easy to say that if you are the one taking advantage. I don't know what field you work in, but I hope you lose your job to a robot that they trained on recordings of your work. You can tell me then how good it feels to share your skills.
