As an artist, I think it is a net negative for us. Disregarding the copyright issue, I think it’s also consolidating power into large corporations, going to kill learning fundamental skills (rip next generation of artists), and turn the profession into a low skill minimum wage job. Artists that spent years learning and perfecting their skills will be worth nothing and I think it’s a pretty depressing future for us. Anways thoughts?

    We artists don’t compare ourselves to them, either.
    But you’re right in that, to a layperson
    we as artists
    But we’re not fond of an AI pretending to be us in front of non-artists

    These quotes all to me sound like you’re implying I’m not, and therefore my opinion is less valid.

      Sorry, I was multitasking when I wrote that post and forgot that part. If you as an artist are alright with an AI assimilating your art, you could be one of the people donating their artwork to train an ethically-sourced dataset. It should be consensual like that.
